SPELLING BEE COMPETITIONS
Congratulations to all our boys and girls who eagerly participated in the class spelling bee over the past few weeks. Pictured below are our top performers in grade 2,3,5,7 respectively.
SCHOOL CONCERT TICKETS
Parents are advised that the school concert tickets go on sale as of Friday 2 August 2024. I wish to encourage parents to purchase their tickets as a matter of urgency as we will only have a limited number of tickets available. We have provisionally diarised our school concert for the following dates:
5 September 2024 @ 6pm – Foundation phase group
12 September 2024 @ 6pm – Intersen phase group
The learner who sells the most tickets out of both the foundation and Intersen phase will be gifted with a music box.
NEW STAFF MEMBERS
We welcome Mrs. Francis and Mr. Baderoen who respectively have taken charge of the grade 4 and 5 class. We wish these teachers well in their new role.
MANDELA DAY CELEBRATIONS
Dear parents, we celebrated Mandela Day on the 18 July 2024. As part of our celebration, we have resolved to reach out to two senior citizen homes in our community. Namely, Dougla Murray and Montagu Senior home. As a school community we intend to make a collection of non-perishable items by Friday 2 August 2024. In order to manage this process we have divided the class groups as follows.
Donations per grade
Grade R-1 (baked beans and pilchards)
Grade 2-3 (peas and spaghetti)
Grade 4-5 (sugar and flour)
Grade 6-7 (pasta, soup, tea and coffee)
The intrinsic lesson behind this initiative is to instill in our learners that community outreach is an important part of our social responsibility. Coupled to this is the teaching of caring for seniors in our community. It is our sincere desire that as a school community, all stakeholders support this initiative. Donated items may be forwarded to the respective teachers over the next 2 weeks. Should you feel a desire to offer any item which could benefit a senior please forward it to the school.
EARLY DISMISSAL
Our learners will be dismissed @ 13.30 on Wednesday the 31 July 2024 in order for the staff to formally bid Mrs J Solomon, the grade 3 teacher farewell after 8 years of service to the school. We wish her well on this new journey she has embarked on.
