DJS U/11 Soccer: Richards Bay
After a very busy term the U/11 soccer team managed to end the soccer season on a high note during the tournament held in Richards Bay.
The team, together with their coach Sipho Malinga and staff, Mr Currie and Mr Maré, left for Richards Bay on Friday morning September 5 and returned on Sunday, September 7. Apart from the soccer matches, the team also had time for relaxing and other entertainment. For many, the best part was when they could swim in the sea. They had an enjoyable weekend – a good way to end a successful season!
DJS Readathon
The Readathon aims to develop a culture of reading in South Africa, and to highlight the importance of literacy in the well-being of a modern nation. The Readathon first took place in 1988. Now in its twenty-fourth year, the campaign is immensely popular. The Grade 1 learners took part in a Readathon at Dundee Junior School.
Educators stuck a poster of a tree on their classroom doors. Learners read books or fun readers. On completion of the book they wrote the name of the book on a leaf and stuck it on the tree. 
Each class drew a letter from the alphabet. With the letter drawn, each learner designed a storybook character on a poster (eg. R – Red Riding Hood). Educators pinned the above posters onto learner’s clothes. At small break learners could read each other’s posters.
Senior learners wrote a summary of a book they read and exchanged the summary with other learners in the class.
