END OF TERM 2 REFLECTION
Under extremely challenging economic forces the school has maintained a positive financial net balance, due prudent and well managed financial systems. Beautiful spaces have been created and maintained by our current ground staff. Bettie Daniels, our food gardener with the help of volunteers, has kept the food garden in absolute pristine shape . The learners display healthy interaction , regrettably there will always be a percentage of learners who display challenging behavior and such is the nature of working within a school environment. But as the previous generation has done for us, we do the same for the current generation but using firm mentorship to lead and guide the learners at school. Two of the current platforms being the the learner prefect body as well as the Dare to Dream project undertaken by Mr. C De Waal every Friday afternoon from 13:00 – 15:00. Teachers have worked tirelessly to ensure that all our learners do their best academically.
The following areas do require our vigilant attention:
The quality of the educational experience is affected internally as well as externally. Mediating social and psychological welfare amongst learners so that each learner can reach their full potential. Addressing chronic absenteeism amongst learners. Ensuring a healthy school ethos is present amongst all stakeholders.
CARMEN STEVENS FOUNDATION CONTINUED FOOD DONATION TO LEARNERS
The management extends deep appreciation and gratitude to the Carmen Stevens Foundation. Since 2020, the foundation has supplied the school with regular food supplies over and above what the Feeding Scheme (NSNP) has provided the school. This enables the school to prepare breakfast and lunch to a larger portion of the learner body. On regular occasions since 2020 the foundation has also supplied identified learners with a food hamper.Â

LEARNER SAFETY OVER THE VACATION
Given the constant threat of crime we wish to make a special appeal to all our parents and learners to ensure that our boys and girls remain safe during the vacation. Learners must inform their parents as to their whereabouts at all times. It may also be that many learners are home while parents go to work. Please speak to our learners about safety at home. Please take special care that no evil, harm or danger overcomes our children during the vacation period. Monitor their movements strictly and ensure that you, at all times, know where your child is.Â
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Every difficulty in life provides us with the opportunity to turn inward and invoke our own inner resources.
