Good day
SICK / ILL LEARNERS:
We do ask again that if your child is really ill, please keep him/her at home and take them to the doctor as soon as you can. There are some learners that come to school ill and then parents are phoned to come and fetch them from school. For hygienic and health reasons it is important to make sure all learners are taking vitamins to strengthen their immune system before winter is upon us. If a learner must write a test or hand in an assignment, please contact the teacher to reschedule and remember to hand in a medical certificate before a learner can re-write or hand in later.
DISCIPLINE:
We have spoken about discipline many times before. We would like to ask you just to remind your child about behaving on the bus and here at school. We deal with ill-mannered learners immediately to avoid any hampering of education during school hours. But we also speak about discipline regularly to make sure every learner behaves well at all times. Remember – The ultimate responsibility for learners’ behaviour rests with their parents or guardians.
CELL PHONES OF LEARNERS:
REMEMBER – NO CELL PHONES ALLLOWED TO BE USED AT SCHOOL
We do ask that you as parent check your child’s cell phone on a regular basis. Some of the learners have explicit stuff on their phones that they either took themselves or was sent to them by someone else. Your child can land up in a lot of trouble if this kind of material is found on their cell phone. We encourage parents to talk to their children about the usage of the cell phone. We as school don’t have any control over what is on learners’ cell phones and can’t take any responsibility for what learners are sending around. This needs to be dealt with by the parents themselves. Remember – Parents are ultimately responsible for what is on and done on their children’s cell phones.
PRESENTATION ON BULLYING
On Monday 8 May a presentation was given to Grade 4 – 9 learners regarding bullying. The teachers attended a presentation regarding bullying in the afternoon. We ask that you as parent also regularly please talk to your child to be careful about what they say and do to other learners, that they must respect other people.
GR 4 – 7 OUTING
Wednesday, 10 May the Gr 4 – 7 learners went on outings, the learners and teachers thoroughly enjoyed it and learned quite a lot. Thank you to everyone that was involved with this that made it such a huge success.
LEARNER ASSESSMENTS
We do ask that you as parent check your child’s books regularly, in the front there is an assessment plan for the subject and there you will find your child’s marks for the assessments that he/she has completed so far this year in the individual subjects.
COMMUNICATION:
We encourage parents to rather email or phone the school for any queries. If really necessary we will make an appointment with you only after school. Please communicate with the teacher or office, we can’t solve problems if we don’t know about it. If you would like to see a teacher or the principal, please mail the relevant person and make an appointment.
Loadshedding has got a huge influence on everything, and that includes the telephone lines. So, it is better to send a mail if you don’t get through.
