EDUCATION
The above quote illustrates the point that a major factor in determining success is a positive attitude. This is particularly true of school work. Learners must understand that the correct attitude will result in success. There is no benefit in moaning, complaining and being negative about school, schoolwork, educators, etc. Parents must endeavour to get this message across to their children.
DETENTIONS
We are in the third week of school and some learners have already brought to my office THREE detention slips (15 misdemeanours). This is because these learners do not do their work at home, nor do they finish work in class. They are disruptive in class and do not concentrate. If you have signed two detention slips already, please have a serious word with your child. It is unacceptable behaviour. Thank you for your co-operation.
EXPENSES
Capex R5 488, computer related expenses R6 839, Foundation Phase stock and stationery R1 916, general admin purchases R731, Metro Services R2 549, Senior Phase books R703, hardware/maintenance/plumbing R3 738 and sports R3 291.
SPONSORSHIP
We are looking for some form of sponsorship (full or partial) for 12 staff tracksuits. These are for the new staff over the last two years. If anyone can assist please contact the office ASAP.
SPONSORSHIP
Would those of you wishing to make a cash sponsorship donation (to assist indigent parents/learners to pay a portion of the 2014 school fees), please ensure that you indicate clearly on the cheque, deposit slip, Internet banking or envelope, that the amount is for SPONSORSHIP (SCHOOL FEES).
We thank the following parents/businesses for their sponsorship:
- Mr K Elliot of Elliot Electrical for the donation of Golf Shirts for the staff.
