Good day
PARENT DAYS:
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.
LEARNER PERFORMANCE AND RE-REGISTRATION:
- Learners failing in HIGH SCHOOL: Space is becoming a huge problem. Remember – If your child is in Grade 8, he/she re-register for 2025 for Grade 9, etc. We do not keep space for learners who fail. Please talk to your child and make sure they work hard and pass the year.
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 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: (repeat of previous letter)
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 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 one 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. If a parent gives a cell phone to his/her child, they must know that there is always the chance your child will see or hear stuff of social media that will be disruptive and can have a negative influence on your child. So please parents, think care and have rules in place to protect your child from the harmful elements/videos/photos that is hiding on social media.
