KUDU PARK LAUNCH

Those of you who are on our Rugby and Hockey fields regularly will notice that there is a large sign painting on the wall behind the rugby poles. This sign contains our school badge with writing around it saying "Welcome to Kudu Park" – "CBHS". This sign was organised by the Prefects of CBHS and was implemented to raise the school spirit which definitely proved itself at the Westerford Derby Day.

It is also there to show and tell the students aobut some history of our school and the reasons our "A" field is known as Kudu Park.

MASCOT

The actual "Kudu" Mascot, organised by this year's RCL, was launched in Friday, 8th May's Assembly. There was a documentary made b a group of Matrics. This is what was documented explaining to the pupils the story behind the "Kudu". This is how it goes:

It was a misty day in early autumn in the year 1998 when far in the distance we suddenly became aware of a creature in the distance mist, approaching our school from inside the Glen Forest. As the mist began to rise, we beheld this beautiful sight of Earnie the Kudu, who had made its way from Rhodes Nature Reserve, cleared the fences there and escaped down to the forest, into the Glen, leapt over the fence onto our school, probably because he loved the lawn and was in search for a beautiful wife. We were very concerned about Earnie's safety as we feared he might jump onto the main road. We called in the Parks and Forest Nature Conservationists who came in to dart Earnie and take him back to his home.As the anesthetic kicked in, Earnie was found in a ditch sleeping, but to heavy to be moved. A second dart was shot to resurrect Earnie. As he awoke, he ran up the Glen towards Kloofnek Road and a third dart was shot at Earnie but unfortunately this proved too much. Earnie sadly died after that, which is a great tragedy as he was a beautiful beast and his spirit will forever linger on the Camps Bay High sports field. This is the story which set about our Camps Bay High School "Kudu" mascot.
