Good day
OPENDAY FOR NEW GRADE R AND 1 LEARNERS:
We had our open day on the 13th of April 2024. It was a huge success. Thank you to all the staff that made this day possible. All the parents and learners that did join us on the Saturday enjoyed it a lot. If you know about Grade R and 1 learners that would like to enrol at CVC for 2025, please inform them that registration is open.
We are only enrolling new Gr R – Grade 8 learners for 2025. The spaces in those grades are also limited. Unfortunately, we are full in grade 9, 10, 11 and 12 for 2025.
PARENT DAYS:
Thank you to all the parents that were invited that did attend the parent day. It is very important to take hands with the teachers and make sure our children excel in each subject.
Should you wish to see a teacher and you were not invited, you are welcome to arrange with the HOD or teacher for a time and day.
WINTER UNIFORM:
We really have a problem with the high school boys’ trousers. If they don’t wear the one from Silver Cross they don’t wear a skinny pants at all. Then they wear the normal black school trousers available at Silver Cross. If we keep on having a problem with boys tailoring their own pants to be skinny looking, we are going to change the school rule to Normal black school trousers for all boys. Then nobody will be wearing the skinny pants anymore.
We have now spoken about this many times but still there are boys not adhering to this rule. Parents need to check the uniform before the learners leave home in the morning. We are going to call parents to bring the correct pants to school before the boy can go to class.
If your child’s uniform is to small, please donate it to the school that we can distribute it to those that might be in a predicament. These donations can be handed in at the office.
CELL PHONES OF LEARNERS:
REMEMBER – NO CELL PHONES ALLLOWED 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 get into 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.
LATE COMING OF LEARNERS IN THE MORNINGS:
We have a few parents that are dropping their kids off after the bell rang in the mornings. Learners that are arriving at school later than 7h45 will be kept in the waiting area at the main gate till after the register period or period 1. Only then they will be sent to class. Learners that come late are disturbing the class when entering during a period. We will not allow this anymore.
Make sure that your child is at school not later than 7h40 every morning. Parents that start to work later, must make use of alternative transport for your child so that they are not late for school. You don’t want to be late for work and we don’t want the learners to be late for school. This is going to have a negative impact on your child, so please make sure they are at school not later than 7h40.
Regards
Mr. JS Diedericks
