  1. HPV VACCINES

Parents and guardians of Grade 5 girls are hereby informed that the HPV vaccine will be administered on the 26th of April 2024 at school. Learners who have been given consent by their parents/guardians will be vaccinated by the Department of Health officials. Please note that there will only be ONE dose administered.

 

  1. ASSESSMENT PLANS

All learners have been given the Term 2 assessment plans. We implore parents and learners to plan and prepare adequately for upcoming assessments. The Controlled Test programme for the Intersen Phase (Grades 4-7) will commence on the 22nd of May 2024 and conclude on the05th of June 2024. Assessment in the Foundation Phase (Grades 1-3 & LSEN) is continuous; therefore, learners must come to school daily and avoid unwarranted absence. With dedication, hard work, and perseverance, we believe that our learners will improve their Term 1 academic performance. We wish our learners all the best for their upcoming assessments and tests.

 

  1. MONITORING OF LEARNERS’ CLASSWORK AND HOMEWORK

We urge all parents/guardians to make time to monitor their child’s work on a daily basis. We encourage random monitoring of learners’ books. When learners are aware that their parents are monitoring their books, learners will undoubtedly have their schoolwork updated. Educators leave valuable feedback and communication in learners’ books all the time, which requires the acknowledgement and response of parents/guardians. Ongoing feedback of learners’ performance is also reflected in their schoolbooks. We thank our parents/guardians for honouring this necessitated request.

 

  1. GAUTENG ARTS FOR PRIMARY SCHOOLS

The Gauteng Arts for Primary Schools competition was held on the 11th of April 2024. We are proud to announce the following results: Senior category – Smangele Nsele (position 1) & Ife Khang (position 2); Foundation Phase category – Hadassah Rameetse (position 3). We congratulate our learners and their coach, Mr. Mashati on their sterling performance.

  1. SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPH SAMPLES

Learners received school photograph samples last term. Parents are expected use the web-link or scan the QR code to place an online order for the photograph package they would like to purchase. Once payments are done online, learners will receive their photograph packages at school. Parents who are struggling or require assistance can inform class teachers via learners’ compulsory school diary.

 

  1. LATE COMING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED

Parents/guardians are reminded that the school day commences promptly at 07:30. Learners should be seated in their respective classes at this time. Late coming will not be tolerated as we expect our learners to be punctual and ready to learn. Names of late comers are recorded, and these learners will receive defaults. Regular late comers will be SUSPENDED from school.

 

  1. REMINDER: DROPPING OFF LUNCH/BOOKS/ITEMS AT SCHOOL

We hereby remind parents/guardians that they are no longer allowed to drop off lunch or meals for learners at school. Books or assessment task drop-offs are also not allowed, and NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE. We expect our learners to be responsible and bring their lunches/meals, books and assessments from home. We also remind parents to ensure that learners are organized and prepared the day before so that they do not forget to bring their books and assessments/projects to school as per their timetables and assessment plans. This is non-negotiable. This has been effected due to learner safety concerns and we expect our parents and guardians to co-operate with the school.
