WELCOME BACK
We welcome all our learners and teachers back after the school vacation. We look forward to a constructive term and appeal to all our parents to assist to ensure that the core business of education is prioritised in the lives of their children.
Please, examine and discuss the contents of the first term report with your child, giving praise where deserved and encouragement where needed. The second term is one of two examination terms for grades 4 to 7 learners. Learners should apply themselves to ensure that they keep books up to date, complete tasks, homework and come to school ready to learn. Learners who sacrifice time and apply themselves can expect a good report at the end of the term.
