Dear Parents,

I hope this correspondence finds you well. Please take note of the following information for your action:

School will close earlier on Friday (26/03), Tuesday (30/03) and Thursday (1/04).
The times for dismissal on these dates are as follow:
Gr R and 1 – 12:30
Gr 2 – 12:40
Gr 3 – 12:50
Gr 4-7 – 13:00
Please make the necessary transport arrangements for your child.

SGB elections have been postponed to Tuesday 30th March at 18:00, as we did not get a quorum at the first meeting. It is hoped that you will avail yourself to participate in this all important process. We expect parents to arrive at 17:30 to sign the voters register. Your green bar coded ID, smart card ID or valid passport is necessary if you are to vote. Driver’s Licence cannot be accepted.

All learners will soon be engaged in the testing programme. Please supervise and structure your child’s studying.

Recently, we find our learners dropping their guard and not wearing a mask or carrying their health questionnaires to school. With the threat of the imminent third wave, we appeal to all parents to re-inforce the importance of adhering to the Covid protocols. Your safety is important to us. At school we will be relentless in creating a barrier between the virus and your child.

At the end of March we bid farewell to 2 teachers from the foundation phase. Mrs. T.M. Naidoo will be retiring and Miss Mabelane will be resigning to pursue further studies. We wish both these ladies well in their new paths in life. They will be dearly missed by all the children and staff.

I hope the above meets your approval.

Kind regards,

Mrs. N. Padayachee
