New Beginnings...
New Beginnings
I've been sitting around this life for
years,
Not enough laughs and too many tears.
Trying to figure out where it all went,
These wasted years that I have spent.
Searching for something to go beyond,
Life's a stone skipping across a pond.
At the last skip, it hits with a splash,
Down the stone sinks, gone in a flash.
Pushing and pulling, it's tearing apart,
Poking and prodding an underused heart.
This dark velvet curtain that hides my soul,
Living this life has taken it's toll.
In a flash of bright light, the curtain is torn,
Tumbling down all tattered and worn.
Revealing new life, a child within,
Born free of hate, of suffering and sin.
Now my eyes see what has never been told,
Striving forth, happy, confident and bold.
Into a world that's unfamiliar but friendly,
Into this new life my spirit will send me.
Living and laughing, loving it all,
I stood myself up and answered the call.
The darkness has gone, replaced by the light,
I gave up the darkness with hardly a fight.
I've been sitting around this life for years,
With laughter aplenty and hardly a tear.
Now I can see just where it all went,
Cherish every moment of this new life I've spent.

People love him…they all want to be like him…he is…MR ANTONELS.
He is the most famous man in the school and people like him. They call him Mr A or the PE teacher, but he is Mr M. Antonels.

Mr Antonels is a qualified physical education teacher and also a Life Orientation teacher to the senior grades. His normal day-to-day jobs include teaching and taking the boys for PE, but he also runs sporting codes with Mrs van Niekerk. Well, he really is a man of many talents.
Mr A is a qualified coach. He completed all human movements studies and also completed coaching studies in all human levels in sport. He is our school’s head coach for cricket and soccer, with the help of Mr Matomela and Mr Wentzel. He forms a part of the team who brought us the lovely Mini-World Games … Soccer being his main priority.

To the Matrics of 2012
To the Matrics of 2012
It seems like yesterday that we wore over-sized
dresses that almost reached our ankles. We had extremely heavy bags filled with
texts books we barely even used. Yes, back then we were in Grade 8. Now our
dresses have faded colour and are a few inches shorter than how they were
originally purchased, and we have realized that there is something called
‘sharing text books with class mates’.
We’ve been here for four years and now this is our
final year. We can all agree that the four years were definitely not easy and
came with challenges, but also many joyous memories that I will eternally
treasure.
I hope as we each embark on our personal journeys
that we will not forget all the values and standards taught to us by the
dedicated educators of Livingstone High School. I hope that on the day we
finally leave Livingstone that there be no tears of sorrow, but tears of joy;
that we each would’ve achieved the goals we set for ourselves and that we make
our parents proud.
This
is not farewell, only just the beginning of new chapters in our lives. We are
the writers, the main characters and even the editors of these books. I hope
that the books we each make of our lives become best sellers... Phumeza Jwili 12T Livingstone Hockey
GOING
FOR GOAL!
Livingstone is starting a Hockey team! The team is currently a girls’ team and judging on enthusiasm alone, it promises to blow all other league teams out of the water. With the help of Ms Thomas as supporting teacher, their chance of winning are ‘legit’.
What other teams will start to pop up? Guys, it starts with US! We need to use our own initiative to get together and make things happen! Livingstone learners want to be involved in more
sports at school. Let’s make it happen!

Livingstone High School is already big on academics. Learners would love to see Livingstone growing on the sporting side.

Life is like Mathematics...
MATHEMATICS
Life is like mathematics, you never
get a simple equation.
Not everything in life
can be simplified.
In life you get hit by
many factors that cause you to stumble.
The products that we make
and create to make life simple end up destroying
us.
It may get you thinking:
why is life so difficult? Why
can't life be simpler?
We group ourselves with
many friends so that we may never feel like a fraction
with an unsure answer.
We are bound by many laws
and rules that make us a function.
Without them our lives
would be like an undefined number without an answer.
We all make errors, no
one is a perfect square.
We always try to calculate
and predict the future.
But do we know what
the future holds for us?
In life when one
person is added, another is subtracted.
It's a recurring
process that can never be stopped.
We can never learn
how to live, but we can learn to enjoy life and make the
most out of every moment.
We all have
differences that make us who we are.
We are all special
just the way we are.
Never let anyone change who you are!
And that's what
makes life natural and irrational.

*NOTE: Challenge is now open to other departments
to send in their best work!

Sports news from the Newspaper Club's star reporter,Siphosethu Sixabayi
Reds come to Durbs
On the 18th July 2012, Durban will turn green and red, where the Reds will play the KwaZulu Natal-based team, Amazulu Football Club. Usuthu and the Red Devil management teams have been exchanging phone calls in preparation for this match. Manchester United will play Amazulu and then return to Manchester to prepare for their upcoming match where they will have to defend their title. The Natal-based team tried to be part of the PSL (Premier Soccer League) final, but they couldn't make it because they had coaching problems this seasons.
Exotic as ever, Durban will be welcoming fans from England for this one-of-a-kind match to take place in our country. Once again, the true colours of the KZN fans will be revealed for this game.
