INTERSEN PHASE POST CONCERT REVIEW
What a wonderful display of talent and enthusiasm was on show the night of the 12 September 2024. Intersen learners displayed their talents and were fully supported by all parents and the community at large. Both concerts over the past 2 weeks have once again proven that a community with a single purpose and the main goal as their focus can accomplish much as a team.
The concert has generated much needed funds as we navigate trouble waters in education at large. We particularly thank all the parents for their wonderful support over the 2 weeks parents in particular.
I also take this opportunity to thank all the role players who made this night possible: All teachers, administration staff, ground staff, kitchen staff, SAPS, Johnson Security, community members and SGB parents.
LOSS OF TEACHING POSTS
Much discourse has been aired in the public space with respect to the loss of 2400 teaching posts in the Western Cape. All parents are hereby informed that the school has also suffered the loss of 3 teaching posts for the 2025 academic year. Staff members and the SGB have been informed of the challenges associated with this reality. We are asking parents to engage in these matters as we navigate what is expected to be an extremely challenging 2025. Challenges like this can be overcome if all stakeholders purpose in their to find solutions and not focus only on the problems. Positivity and calmness amidst the storm should therefore be our watch word.
GRADE 5 TABLE MOUNTAIN CLASS OUTING
Our grade 5 teachers have reported positively on the conduct of the grade 5 learners post their Table Mountain class outing. How wonderful it would be, when our grade 5 learners display a similar character trait while in the class. Let’s address the matter of good personal discipline at every occasion with our loved ones. Cooperation between teacher and child is vital for the main goal to be achieved, namely quality education.
