Music Classes


Music is one of the most powerful ways to get a message through, infact it can be used for anything. I have been taking Keyboard lessons since, well late 2005. I want to know how to play the Keyboard or Piano. Its has some rocket signs - cleffs, notes, time signature, diatonics, traits and much much more. Practice makes perfect though. We are quite a group, taught by pianist Boavida Fillemon.

Namibian Scholars Investment Challenge 2007

The Namibian Scholars Investment Challenge 2007 recently came to an end. It was a great, fascinating, fun Challenge and we really learned a lot. It was amazing to own fictitious shares in various companies and bear all aspects as if it were true. I had just read Warren BuffetÅ› story and its so inspiring, I mean he made a fortune out of investments. So this Challenge was and is important to my future if I am to succeed as an investor. I am not disappointed to not have won though I would like to have won with my team Streets Smart. All that matters is that I or rather, we all gained something -the invaluable experience. Not forgetting that it will be back next year, and giving up wont be an option. Thank our organisers (Jenny & co.), sponsors (NSX & NBL) and stockbrokers (Madelein, Nigel....) for making this Challenge possible and a success. Listed are this yearÅ› winners; Congratulations!

Best Teacher


Many people are hailed as heroes or heroins, but who are heroes? I have my own definition. I regard heroes as anyone who exceeds expectations. Thus, I regard my Computer Teacher; Ms Liz McEntee as one of heroes. She came all the way from the US to teach us here in Namibia. Without a Teaching Diploma/Degree yet she could teach us so well that we registered one of the highest scores -if not the highest in Keyboard and Word Processing both Nationally and Regionally. We were awarded Best School in the subject in the Region, while she became the Best Teacher in the subject. That's amazing isn't it?......... We salute you Ms McEntee.
