6 - 8 March 2012

The World Education Games is the exciting event for all schools and students around the world. It runs from 6-8 March, involving 5.5 million students from over 200 countries and territories.

This is the global challenge to get all students (4-18 years of age) excited about learning, and to give the top students in each school an opportunity to see how they measure up against the best.

Students are given their own personal online Games centre, from which they can participate in all 3 events from school and home. Students are matched in real time with up to 3 other students of similar age and ability in exciting live challenges.

Over the last 5 years, students have shown an average improvement of over 30% in speed and accuracy on World Maths Day, making it a powerful way to improve core computation and number skills. Similarly, World Spelling Day has achieved dramatic average improvement results, with 2011 showing a 25% improvement in speed and accuracy.

 
The questions within World Science Day take a unique and fun approach, designed to foster curiosity and excitement about science, whilst helping students to improve their ability to answer knowledge, application and reasoning questions.

 
The event is free, all that is required is internet access. Last year we had about 40,000 South African learners take part.

Gym & Tonic: Supplements and Drugs in School Sport

Hosted by DR. JON PATRICIOS

Venue: Len Millar Hall – Cheese and wine evening
Date: Wednesday, 14 March 2012
Time: 18h00

Cost: R100

The much sought-after Dr Jon Patricios will address us at a ‘cheese and wine’ function to be hosted by the RPA.

Jon has been team physician to school, club, provincial and international sports teams in rugby, cricket, soccer, athletics and basketball, is a member of the Cricket South Africa and SA Rugby medical committees and the Comrades Marathon Panel of experts, is a medical advisor to the MTN cycling team and Kaizer Chiefs Football Club, founder and Director of Sports Concussion South Africa and serves on tribunals for the South African Institute for Drug Free Sport.

The topic will include discussions around the various measures that students may resort to in order to achieve target weights and enhance performance in sport. This may be done through the use of supplements, the use of which could impact the child’s performance both academically and in the sports field. The supplement industry is less known and therefore the drive to create awareness around the benefits and hazards thereof.

Amongst other issues this talk will address issues such as:

• As a player, do you know what you’re taking
• As a parent, do you know the side effects of the supplements you’re purchasing.
• What combinations can be used to achieve the desired effects in a positive way
• Gym and supplements and how to achieve a symbiosis

Note that light snacks as well as wine and other drinks will be served on the night.
