1.      Report / Verslag

      Please evaluate and discuss your child’s results
regarding his/her Term 2 report.  Grade 8
– 11 learners came to school on alternative days and this is having a negative
impact on the learners’ performance.  Gr
12 learners came to school on a daily basis. 
We experienced a high rate of absenteeism.  This has a negative impact on the continuous
academic exposure and learning.  We urge
parents/guardians to stay committed to sending learners to school as the
timetable stipulates for the adjusted compulsory school attendance programme.

2.      Communicate 

       Parents / guardians must inform the school’s secretary of any changes in contact details especially cell numbers, home numbers or any other changes in contact details and addresses. 

 3.      Text books

All learners received text books which have been covered with plastic.  Parents/guardians are responsible for the replacement of any lost/damaged text books.  Please buy the prescribed school bag to ensure the safekeeping of books.

5.      Covid-19 Protocols

We are currently at Level 4.  We still observe learners outside our school not adhering to the regulations of mandatory wearing of a facemask and social distancing.  This unacceptable behaviour is putting everybody at risk.  Our school observe strict compliance regarding all Covid-19 regulations and protocols.  We were informed about four learners who were put in isolation due to either having Covid-19 or being in direct contact with someone who tested positive for Covid-19.  Please help us to keep our learners and staff safe and healthy.
