Adenoid Surgery ChildrenAdenoids are small glands in the throat at the back of the nose. They are there to fight germs in younger children. We believe that after the age of about three years, the adenoids are no longer needed. Your body can still fight germs without your adenoids. We only take them out if they are doing more harm than good.

Sometimes children have adenoids so big that they have a blocked nose, so that they have to breathe through their mouths. They snore at night. Some children even stop breathing for a few seconds while they are asleep. The adenoids can also cause ear problems

by stopping the tube, which joins your nose to your ear from working properly. For children removing the adenoid at the same time as putting grommets in the ears seems to help stop the glue ear coming back. Removing the adenoids may also make colds that block the nose less of a problem for your child. Usually adenoid surgery is done as a day case and there is minimal pain after the procedure.

Adenoid surgery is very safe, but bleeding may occur which may need a second operation to stop it. However, bleeding after adenoidectomy is very uncommon.

Spending 11 hours in the office could be the death of you

Did you know?

A recent study by the University College London (UCL) found that those spending more than 11-hours at work have a 67% increased risk of having a heart attack when compared to those working an average 8-hour day.

A separate study undertaken by the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health found that .these workers are also twice as likely to suffer from major depression with a 2.5 higher chance of suffering at least one adverse depressive episode after six years.

Already South Africa is regarded as the 3rd most workaholic nation in the world with a 2011 study by Ipsos Global and

Reuters finding that a mere 47% of the country’s working population take their necessary vacation days. Resolution Health Medical Scheme warns that with a growing body of evidence irrevocably proving the link between long working hours and potentially life-threatening health complications, it becomes clear that corporate South Africa must take an increasing amount of responsibility for the health of their employees.

These employees are more likely to ignore obvious health warning signs to avoid taking a day off and are less likely to seek medical advice, believing that the problem will simply disappear in time.

Band Day was held on 1st March for all Grade 6-12 learners involved in either steel drum or marimba bands. We moved our instruments out under the Flamboyant trees in the front quad and then proceeded to make music! Interspersed with some hilarious team building games we managed to learn two new pieces that combined both steel pans and marimbas, Chariots of Fire and the Taco Bell Canon (apologies to Pachelbel). After several practising sessions, we played the new songs for the parents who gathered in the quad to hear the results of our day!

The Lilyfontein School 1ST XV played against Stirling 1st XV on 6 March 2014. The boys showed a lot of guts and character in the game. It was the first time in Lilyfontein history that the 1st XV played against a bigger school’s 1st XV. The boys carried the Lilyfontein name high and really made the school proud. Well done to all the boys that played in that game.

This group is pre-paring for the great Amatola Hike. We started our journey from Lilyfontein School and made our way to the beach from where we headed straight to Gonubie – rain, sunshine and wind didn’t dent our spirits.

On 26 February, the Lilyfontein 1st team played Stutterheim 1st team in the East London Schools Cricket T20 Shield final. Lilyfontein scored 100 for 9 wickets in 20 overs. Lubabalo Skade scored 40 runs. Stutterheim were all out for 48 runs. Matthew Promnitz took 3 wickets in 4 overs for 6 runs and Kevin Bickell bowled 2 overs, 4 wickets for 6 runs.

They will be accompanied by coach, Mr Richard Vlotman, and Mr Neville Hort, the development manager of Border Bowls. We are also extremely proud of Nico van Zyl who came 7th overall in the junior section and first in the 15-17 year old age group at the Sunshine Coast Triathlon. He and Maduna Mqanto will be representing Border at the Biathlon championships in Potchefstroom in April.

Reza Peterson and Natasha Marr came joint third in the country in the National Life Sciences Olympiad and have been shortlisted for the South African Biology Olympiad team to go to Indonesia in July, the only learners from the Eastern Cape to be chosen for the team.

About two weeks ago, our pupils were part of an annual Shavathon to raise money for cancer and the event, which is always fun to watch, raised a couple of thousand rand that will help where needed in East London. The pupils had their hair sprayed in different colours and had to pay for the privilege, but as seen by the big smiles, it was all worth it.

Hudson Park has achieved a first in East London by producing two SA Schools Cricket Players in 2013. What makes this a first is that the two players consist of a girl, Githe Koopman SA U19 Girls, and a boy, Ngazibini Sigwili, who played SA U/19 in 2013 against England U19 and who was part of the U19 SA squad that has beaten the Pakistan U19 team to win the World U19 Cup 2014.

Hudson Park High School has chosen Godspell as its musical production this year. Directed by multi-award-winning director, Pierre Perold, Godspell was written by Stephen Schwartz and is based on a novel by John-Michael Tebelak. The musical is composed of a series of parables, mostly based on the Gospel of Matthew. The parables are interspersed with a variety of modern music set primarily to lyrics from traditional hymns. The passion of Christ features briefly near the end of the performance. The show opened on Broadway in 1971, and was initially met with some reserve because of the musical’s interpretation and portrayal of Christ. Godspell has enjoyed many successful runs and revivals. In fact, if anything, Godspell is more relevant now than when it was first performed. It reiterates morals, beliefs and faith, which are severely lacking in our modern society. Mr Perold has breathed new life into the musical and, along with a talented cast of 15 pupils, promises to entertain and to leave a message that will stay with one long after the actors have taken their final bow and the houselights have come on. The choreography is by Mrs Natalie Oberem and the musical direction by Miss Rosanne Lesch.

The combined results of these learners in the National Life Sciences Olympiad for Grade 11 placed Hudson Park High School third nationally, the only Eastern Cape High School to be in the top three.

Our Mission Statement says that Hudson Park is a friendly family school where children are educated in a warm environment based on Christian values. The pupils of Hudson Park, the teachers and the Principal, Mr Roy Hewett, all strive to uphold the mission statement on the basis of our four pillar system that consists of Academic, Cultural, Pastoral and Physical spheres.

To adopt the four pillars and then to implement a balance always takes a while for the new grade eights to find their feet but then the real joy of participation becomes a way of life here at Hudson. One of the teachers quoted this about Hudson – “Where the lights never go out.” You need to be part of this to experience the fact that the lights never do go out at Hudson.
