Good day to all parents
CLASSES FOR 2025:
Each report will have a little note stapled to it to indicate in which class the learner will be in 2025. Learners will be put on whatsapp groups for the class of 2025. It will make it much easier for learners the first day when school re-open in 2025.
REPORTS:
Learner accounts that are still outstanding on the 16th of November will be handed over to the collectors. Such leaners’ reports will be at the collectors and not at the school with the register teacher. Parents can collect the report from MPP collectors before the 6th of December. When MPP close for the holidays parents will only be able to collect the report when they re-open in the new year. We will not be able to assist parents of accounts that are handed over, with accounts or reports.
To avoid this, please make sure your account is paid up on or before the 15th of November 2024.

SCHOOL UNIFORM:
We do ask that you make sure you buy the correct uniform for your child. That is why it is important to buy from Silver Cross, Eeufees street, Pretoria-North. Boys can only wear a specific skinny pant (only available from Silver Cross).
Make sure the uniform is not to tight fit and that skirts and pants are the correct length.
Enjoy your weekend.

| IMPORTANT INFORMATION: RABIES in Animals and Humans Rabies is a viral disease that can affect all mammals including dogs, cats and humans. Unfortunately, there is currently no known treatment or cure for rabies. There is however an effective vaccination program for your dog and cat that can provide pre-exposure immunity against the virus and can help to limit the severity and spread of this deadly disease to humans. All young animals from the age of three months should be vaccinated, followed by a booster vaccination between 2 and 9 months later. Thereafter an annual booster vaccination should be given lifelong to maintain immunity. The Rabies Virus Is transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal mainly through bites, scratches or licks Affects the brain and is fatal once a person or animal shows clinical signs Is characterised by symptoms in animals such as drooling saliva, paralysis, changes in behaviour including aggression, exaggerated response to sound and light, muscle spasms and convulsions and continuous barking, whining and howling Poses a primary threat to human health mainly through infected dogs and cats Rabies in humans Humans can contract the rabies virus. There is also no known cure for rabies in humans. If a person is ever bitten, scratched or licked by a rabid dog or any other animal suspected of having rabies, the bite wound should be allowed to bleed and should be rinsed profusely with water and cleaned with a germicidal agent. They also need to be seen immediately by a medical doctor. Important: South Africa is considered a rabies endemic area, and all dogs and cats are required to be vaccinated by law. To assist in controlling this deadly disease, the Vets at Florandia Animal Clinic, 790 Punctata street, Tileba, will offer a discount on Rabies vaccinations for the next three months. Please feel free to contact them at 012 565 5597 or bring your animal to be vaccinated. |
