BACKGROUND					PUBLICITY
In April 2009 we reached out to the High Schools by					Clem Sunter – Muizenberg 15 April 2009
inviting them to the Clem Sunter Show sponsored
by G. J. Elliott and Associates Chartered
Accountants (now Hudson Associates) and, the
Beatles musical show at The Masque Theatre
“All You Need Is Love”.
The schools where also sponsored by
Kalky’s Fish & Chips of Kalk Bay and
Shearwater Adventures of Victoria Falls.
At Clem’s talk the Izivunguvungu Brass Band					Izivunguvungu Brass Band at “All You Need Is
welcomed all with an interlude of light music.					Love” – Sponsored by Fine & Country Fish Hoek -
Snacks were provided by Pick ‘n Pay Fish Hoek					Muizenberg 28 April 2009
and pens were sponsored by Key Stationers.
At the Masque Theatre, the uniformed
Simon’s Town Pharmacy ladies handled (as a
promotion) the meet & greet, tickets and
ushering. Many of their regular customers
were taken by surprise.
Lesley Rochat then of The SOS Shark Centre also
spoke at Clem’s talk and this led to Muizenberg
High School adopting the centre under the
stewardship of Deputy Principal Leoni
Jacobsen who attended the event.
Flowing from this will be a series of joint
conservation oriented events with various schools,
the first of which occurred on Wednesday
2 December 2009 – a Global Awareness Beach					http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOsrrJYs0v0&feature=channel

auspices of the AfriOceans Warriors which
may be described as a new African tribe.

At the 2009 Whale Spotter’s Breakfast,
Muizenberg Junior School accepted the
challenge to design, shape and erect in the
school grounds a life – size Southern Right
Whale Tail, similar to that which appears on
the 2009 whale sightings log. Click here to					Columbus News Article
follow progress.
More outreach events are planned, specifically
a thematic philately project (thematic
philately is known as The Art Of Philately).
In 2010 we launched our holiday and educational
programme and on 4 August entertained three high
Schools at Clem Sunter’s talk – Unpacking The
Aftermath.
We will also be working with Metrorail Tourism’s
Whales By Rail educationals at each destination.
From 2011 we will be promoting and working with
the Empowerment Through Education Trust .
