EDUCATION
Learners are judged on the calibre of the work they produce. Please look at your child’s books on a regular basis! Check if the work is well presented, neat, complete or whether it is untidy, thrown together and poorly done.
In school, as in the place of work, what you present is often perceived as a reflection of your character or lack thereof. What statement does your child’s school work say about your child?
APPLICATIONS FOR ENROLMENTS 2015
Application forms for 2015 are available at the office and parents may return completed forms from Tuesday 15 April at 05:00. A very serious request is made to all parents NOT to encourage friend, relatives, etc who live outside our immediate area to apply for space at our school. Our school is always over-subscribed and we must all co-operate to keep learner numbers in check, in order to control the Learner : Teacher ratio at the school. For Grade 1 learners, preference will be given to in-area learners who turn 7 during the course of 2015.
Addresses and place of work will be verified.

SECURITY – BOTTOM GATE
The bottom gate seems to be a vulnerable area regarding safety and security. Lots of learners wait there to be picked up by parents, etc. It is not safe down there as there are neither teachers nor adults in the vicinity. Therefore, this gate will be closed at 14:15 and learners will then have to be picked up at the top gate where it is safer.
NEW CLOSING TIMES FOR TERM 2
LEARNER RESPONSIBILITIES
Learners undertake to refrain from and report acts of vandalism or any other damage to or misuse of school property.
