EDUCATION IS SERIOUS

Embrace the concept of praise and blame with regard to your child. Both are developmental.

END OF YEAR EXAMS

AGM

At the AGM meeting held on the 22^nd October we did not get a quorum of 214 parents with the result being that the AGM will now take place on the 12^th November at 19:00 in the hall where no quorum is needed in order to approve some of the resolutions. See you there.

CLEANERS CHRISTMAS HAMPERS

It is a tradition at our school that parents contribute towards a Christmas hamper for our cleaning staff as a way of conveying to them our sincere thanks for the wonderful work they do during the course of the year. It will be greatly appreciated if each learner could bring to school one or more non-perishable item as a contribution.

CLOSING TIME FOR TUESDAYS – TERM 4
