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.

CLOSING TIMES FOR TERM 2

PLEASE NOTE: Due to there being no Group Tests in Term 2, the school will finish at 13:30 on Tuesdays. Please arrange transport in order for learners to get home and study for exams.
