Dear Parents

"And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
Anais Nin

Winter has certainly arrived at Hilton! Saturday we experienced temperatures in the early thirties and yesterday temperatures plummeted into the low single figures. But Hilton is looking at its very best at the moment - the lovely array of autumn colours certainly enhances our campus.

The school has quickly settled into its hectic schedule with much to look forward to this term. This past weekend we hosted Northwood High School for both Hockey and Rugby. As the results demonstrate, the majority of our teams had the better of the opposition. I must commend Northwood on their spirit and the sportsmanlike conduct they demonstrated in the face of adversity.

The cast of 'Grease' will be putting the finishing touches to their production this week. I urge the Hilton community to support the cast and attend the shows in the week 28 April - 01 May. Please phone the Theatre to book your seats. We do have other productions happening later in the term but I will remind you of these at a later date.

The Matric Dance will be held on Saturday 26 April and I look forward to seeing all our Matric Boys and their partners at this significant occasion. It is a wonderful opportunity for the boys to celebrate their time at Hilton.

Enjoy the week.

Kind regards
