FOUNDATION PHASE FUN DAY
It was with huge excitement that the foundation phase learners engaged in the fun day on Saturday the 11 March 2023. The learners and parents had a most enjoyable time with the music and the fun day activities. Our parents came in full support of their children and made sure that their little ones gave their very best by cheering them on in each event.
To all the parents and family members who were present, thank you to all for the wonderful sportsmanship and camaraderie observed on the day.We have included some memories of the day.
THE IMPORTANCE OF READING
It cannot be aerated enough, the importance of our learners to read on a regular basis. We have observed many learners in all grades struggling with very basic reading skills. In most of the cases the learning barrier can be changed with consistent reading in class and at home. We therefore wish to implore all our boys and girls as well as our parents to encourage every child to read every single day ( Monday to Friday).
It is a sad observation to see wonderful boys and girls who struggle academically, simply because they did not make the sacrifice to read more often. It is a life skill that if left unattended will come back to harm the academic development of any child. Parents, please speak about this in your family time.
HUMAN RIGHTS WEEKEND
Parents are reminded that we will have an extra long weekend as of the 17 March 2023. Learners are at home on the 20-21 March 2023 and return on the 22 March 2023 (Wednesday). Normal dismissal times will apply for the day.
ADMISSIONS 2023/2024
This is a gentle reminder to all parents that admissions for 2023 opened on the 13 of March 2023. We are therefore encouraging parents who wish to enrol their learners in grade 1 and 8 for 2024 to ensure that they register online as soon as possible.(the link below may be cut and paste into your web browser for easy access)
