New Ladies Hostel



Since the foundation of Cedar College of Education in the early nineties, God has faithfully given growth. So much so that the current female student hostel is far too small; in fact, ten folds of students were turned away this year due to the lack of sufficient accommodation.

On completion, the new hostel will be able to accommodate 90 students together with flats for staff and hostel parents. The first phase of the building is currently under construction and will accommodate 64 students. As the Lord provides, the building of the full plan will proceed.

As more male students are enrolling, the College will soon have to build yet another hostel!

First Years 2010

Every year brings new challenges, and Cedar College is no exception. With only four 4th years leaving and fifteen 1st years starting, the need for a new college hostel is greater than ever.

Nevertheless every new student is warmly welcomed as part of the “CCE Family”.  This year’s 1st year group includes students from Romania and Korea, as well as a strong South African presence of Indian, Zulu and Afrikaans students.

The First Year Welcoming was held on the Friday, 5 February, and included a pleasant blend of fun activities, speeches and spiritual input from students and lecturers alike.
 

Eight 4th years on their way!

With heavy hearts that we said our goodbyes to the 2008 fourth years. Some will leave to their home countries; Romania, America, Botswana, Lesotho and within SA. What a unique group with different cultures and backgrounds but united in Christ.
It is our hope, prayer and plea that you will be fruitful wherever the Lord places you. Let your torch shine clear!

Report on Fourth Year Outreach 2009

We, the 4th year students of 2009, are thankful for the opportunity that we had to go on the outreach to Port-Elizabeth and Jeffrey's Bay. It was an enriching time for each of us. We could be exposed to a world in need and have become aware that we need to shine our lights in the darkness.

We spoke, performed skits, and sang wherever we went. In this way we tried to convey the love of Christ for the lost. Our audiences ranged from school kids and street kids to the elderly in old age homes and disabled homes. We also had the opportunity to strengthen the body of Christ in settings such as churches, cell groups and families.

Some of us had never been in this part of South Africa and there were therefore new surprises after every turn. Meeting new people, seeing new places and getting new insights. At every turn the Lord provided and led the way. We are truly thankful.

It is important to mix business with pleasure. We therefore had the privilege of seeing Addo Elephant Park and a dolphin show.

Our team consisted of eight people, four 4th year students, Dr. Ilsa Vermaak, Ms. Teresa Jonk, and Mr. Bongani Sibeko. We were also thrilled to have with us Nonto Cibane (a 2nd year student) who helped us in numerous ways.
