Welcome all new members at Forres Preparatory School on this exciting new journey. Our Mrs van der Hoven has been away this past week to Zambia. We hope to see some of her photos soon!
We are going to spend this week looking at the areas which each of us feels strongly aligned to - we will identify our particular interests and concerns in matters Ecological and then we will draw up a plan of commitment and action!
It is uncanny that the week in which we begin in earnest to get our Roots and Shoots club up and running, Jane Goodall should be in Cape Town, presenting a talk to our neighbouring school Bishops! Let us take this to be a good omen for the little club which we have created.
Forres Preparatory School is situated in Cape Town. We are fortunate to overlook the beautiful Rondebosch Common - an open common of about 40 hectares (100 acres) in Rondebosch, Cape Town in South Africa. It contains one of the only surviving pockets of the critically endangered “Cape Flats Sand Fynbos” vegetation type, which exists nowhere else in the world.
Roots & Shoots South Africa
We are new members of the Roots and Shoots program of the Jane Goodall Institute in South Africa. Forres Preparatory School has started its own Roots and Shoots Club. This is being run by the children, in keeping with the excitement which Forres children already experience in learning to be good stewards of this earth. Forres Prep, overlooking Rondebosch Common, fosters a keen sense of the role we all play in supporting our Diversity and our Natural World.
