Kindly note that the end-of-year assessments/tests will begin from the 17^th November 2026, and will end on the 26^th November 2026.

3. EXAM PREPARATION VIDEO: A GUIDE FOR LEARNERS AND PARENTS

As we approach the examination period, we would like to share the video below, which provides valuable guidance on exam preparation, study techniques, and learner support. We encourage you to view it together with your child/ward and discuss ways to implement the strategies suggested. The link to the video is: https://midrandprimary.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/video1480626398.mp4

 

4. HUMBLE PLEA

There are some parents/guardians who request the school to arrange Uber (or any other related transport mode) for their children/wards. This is a risky practice more so that there are child-trafficking realities. We therefore humbly request that the school should not be involved in such arrangements as they pose life threatening risks. Should anything go wrong with such transport arrangement/s, the principal will unfortunately be held accountable. Let us therefore desist from having the school as the conduit of such arrangements.
