NEWSLETTER 9 | TERM 1 – 2025

Good day

SCHOOL CLOSING DATE FOR TERM 1:

Charlton Vos College will be closing the 27^th of March 2025 for term 1.  We will re-open again on the 8^th of April 2025.

EVACUATION DRILL:

Tuesday, 25 March 2025 we practised our school’s evacuation drill.  The evacuation went smoothly and quickly without any problems.

SCHOOL FEES:

We would like to remind you that your fees must be paid before or on the 3^rd of each month (even during holidays).  Please make sure that your child’s account is up to date before the school closes for the first holiday.  Accounts will be handed over and such learner will receive a letter indicating that we will not be able to register this specific child for the next academic year.  All fees need to be up to date every month.

LEARNER APPEARANCE:

We are having difficulty with some learners who do not follow the school dress code and they try to do what they want. We ask that you as parent please make sure that your child is dressed according to school rules when the school re-opens on the 8^th of April. Repeat offenders will be sent home to fix their appearance.

CELL PHONES:

We are still experiencing a problem with learners who use their cell phones here at school.  We do not allow cell phone usage here at school.  Please remind your child that if they bring a cell phone to school it is at own risk, it must be switched off the moment they enter school grounds and it must not be visible.

LOST AND FOUND (CLOTHES ETC)

We have so many clothing pieces in our lost and found box.  We have washed all of it and put them in storage now.  We have announced regularly that learners must please come and take their clothing from the lost and found box.  Only a few learners did come to take jerseys, shirts etc.

Since the clothes are just lying in the office now, we have decided to put them up for sale.  It will be at a very small amount that learners and parents can now buy the lost and found clothing from the office.  All clothes will be washed and packed.  A price list will be made available with the items.

We can not believe that so many learners just leave the expensive uniform on the playground or in class.  These items will be available to any parent of learner that needs a jersey etc.  Some of these clothing is brand new.  As soon as we are ready, we will send a message to all parents in connection with the lost and found shop.

IMPORTANT DATES:

Yours sincerely,
Mr. JS Diedericks
