Dear CWS Community,

As the year draws to a close, we pause to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared throughout 2024. This year has been filled with moments of learning, growth, and achievement.

We wish you time to relax, recuperate, celebrate, and cherish the company of all your loved ones during this festive season. May your holidays be filled with warmth, laughter, and peace.

We look forward to welcoming you back on the 22nd of January 2025 for another amazing chapter at Constantia Waldorf School.

Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year!

Farewells

From time to time, we find ourselves bidding farewell to remarkable members of our teaching, administrative, and estate teams.

“Conversations with College”

A reminder of our open door for parents to meet with College members in conversation about any issues they feel need to be heard.

Urgent Home Needed: I’m urgently looking for a place to stay with my kids from the beginning of January until 5 April 2025. My budget is around R10 000/Month, I would need one bigger or two smaller rooms. The kids are used to staying with other people. We are at Constantia Waldorf School, so it would be great if it’s not further than a 30-minute drive. Please contact Ilona Ovenstone on 082 252 1677 or

WhatsApp +41 79 683 2516.

Urgent! LIFT NEEDED BACK TO RONDEBOSCH (NEAR NEWLANDS) in 2025 for my GRADE 1 SON: Dear fellow parents, I’m desperately looking for a CWS family who lives in the Southern Suburbs and is able to bring my son Jacob home 4 days a week in 2025. My job at the University of the Western Cape in Belville simply doesn’t make it possible for me to fetch him. I’m happy to offer financial remuneration for your time and petrol and am also flexible regarding times (he doesn’t have to leave school at 12.30). Please Whatsapp me on 0835000 Meg van der Merwe. Many many thanks!
