The Department of Basic Education held the National Spelling Bee at UNISA in Pretoria on Saturday 29th October with the country’s top 27 spellers in grades 4-6—the provincial spelling bee winners. The competition was tough. In Round 1, only one speller was knocked out; Round 2, same and Round 3– one more.
For the first time, Mitchells Plain’s Imperial Primary School entered a team in the National Spelling Bee competition. It would prove to be the right decision, as Mateo Joubert, a Grade 5 pupil from the school, went on to win the provincial level of the competition.

Camp I Am, which deals with different issues every year, will be giving youngsters a platform to discuss gender violence this year.
The December 2012 camp ended with a stunning showcase of three short films entitled "Heritage 2012 Our Heroes and Sheroes". Three teams of campers researched and identified community members they felt should be commended and acknowledged for their service and positive impact on society. They started working on the films during the June/July camp, and interviewed their heroes Mzikayifani Vilikazi, from Siyophumelela Association for the Disabled and the Aged; Richard ‘Bricks’ Mokolo, Orange Farm Rights Centre; and shero Rose Thamae from Let Us Grow.
Camp I Am held its second annual Model United Nations Debate for Orange Farm secondary schools. The topic was Leadership and the Role of Young People in the World Today.
Campers visited Freedom Park, a memorial that narrates the story of South Africa’s pre-colonial, colonial, apartheid, and post-apartheid history and heritage.
