FAMOUS POET VISITS MUIR

Mr Vincent Oliphant visited Muir College on Monday 8^th October 2012. Mr Oliphant gave an inspiring talk to the Grade 11 and Grade 12 Afrikaans classes about his poetry. Writing from the heart, one of his poems “Woorde” has been prescribed for Grade 12 and addresses themes of reconciliation and compassion. The three Afrikaans Distinction candidates, Rowan Nelson, Lyndon Apple and Lee Baatjes honoured Mr Oliphant with a Muirite Tie souvenir. The Afrikaans Department is truly thankful for the opportunity granted to see this poet in person.
