COMMENCEMENT OF FORMAL ASSESSMENTS
Homework, completing assignments and preparing for tests are absolutely crucial for academic success. We detect with concern that the ethos of completing homework, studying for tests and submitting assignments remain a challenge for a large component of our learners in all grades.
The ethos of hard work must be instilled in all our learners. The pursuit for academic excellence must be in the conscience of every child at Delta Primary.
In this regard we ask all our parents to remind their children of the reason for attending school, as we will do the same while the learners are at school.
It is class test times for learners in grade 4-7. Parents should check the assessment program issued to them at the beginning of the term. If you have not received a copy of the assessment program, message teachers and inquire to receive an updated copy as a matter of urgency. Its go to bed early, and to study for tests for all learners. Please assist in this regard.
FOOD GARDEN WORKSHOP
Delta Primary has been the beneficiary of many wonderful partnerships over many years. Our recent partnership with Food and Trees for Africa has led to training and support being made available to our resident gardener Betty Daniels. Thanks to the partnership the school has been afforded full support to ensure that the garden remains sustainable over the winter season and also into the spring season. Below a picture of Mrs. Betty Daniels and Mrs. Connie with Alex (the Representative of Food and Trees for Africa)
VACANT SPACES IN GRADE R
Parents in the community who have not secured a place for their Grade R child must contact the school as soon as possible as we have limited space in the GR R class for 2025. Parents who are struggling to complete the online application may approach the school, admin staff will communicate the relevant documentation needed as well as to assist you with the online process. PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE.
CONCERT DATES
Concert tickets for both the Foundation Phase and the Intersen Phase are on sale @ R25 for children (yellow ticket) and R50 for adults (blue ticket). The learner who collects the most tickets will be awarded a music box, which was so kindly donated by one of our service providers.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I must commit myself to beginning each day by concentrating on positive thoughts and focusing on my goals. That which you are looking for, you’re living with. Shoot for the moon and even if you miss you’ll land among the stars. – Les Brown
