GRADE R SPACES -2025

As you are aware, the introduction of the BELA ACT OF 2024, has made the attendance of Grade R compulsory for children who are 5 years old. We are therefore encouraging parents to ensure that their children are enrolled at a school as soon as possible. Currently Delta Primary has space for 5 Grade R learners (2025 enrolment). Lets encourage and motivate family members and parents in the community to ensure that their children are enrolled with urgency.

SCHOOL UNIFORM 2025

Learners are reminded that they are required to be dressed in school uniform. Our foundation learners have responded to this call in vast majorities, displaying neat and consistent wearing of the uniform. 

I am sure that you would agree what a beautiful sight it is, when learners are dismissed and observers view learners in their school uniform.

We do note with concern that far too many senior learners are dressed with different colour hoodies and expensive takkies while their uniform is amiss. It would be so fantastic to see all our learners neatly dressed in school uniform as prescribed in the code of conduct. Some of the learner`s uniforms require to be stitched and repaired due to daily usage.

 We wish to remind all our parents that the school has introduced a lay-buy system for the purchase of school uniforms. This means that parents may indicate to the school the item they wish to purchase and may then reserve the item and pay off the account over 3 months and upon completion of the payment the uniform is issued to the child. Should this be an option you wish to explore, please make contact with the school secretary either via telephone or via a message in the message book indicating your intention to do a lay-buy.

METRO KIDS PROGRAMME

In term 1 of 2025, the school partnered with METRO KIDS , to address universal values as part of life lessons amongst all our learners. The previous life lesson was centered around choosing your friends carefully, as this impacts your life positively or negatively. On Tuesday the value was FORGIVENESS. Lets reinforce this value as part of our interaction with our children.

RETIREMENT

On Wednesday the 13 May 2025, Mrs K. Vd Ross a long serving staff member of 19 years retired from the school. This is a new phase in her life and the school extends best wishes to her going forward.
