FOUNDATION PHASE SPELLING BEE
While our Intersen learners were engaged in their formal assessments this week, our Foundation Phase learners participated in an exciting Spelling Bee.
Grade R learners were tested on their sounds, while Grades 1–3 worked from grade-appropriate word lists. The learners thoroughly enjoyed the experience, engaging enthusiastically as the quiz master challenged them to spell a variety of words. The purpose of introducing the Spelling Bee is to strengthen learners’ vocabulary, empower them to construct new sentences, and broaden their language skills in a fun and interactive way.
SCHOOL UNIFORM AND GENERAL DRESS CODE (GRADES 3–7)
Dear Parents, we appeal to you to kindly ensure that learners arrive at school dressed in the correct school uniform. Increasingly, we have observed learners wearing expensive branded takkies, hoodies, and casual tops—items which often cost far more than a full school uniform.
In addition, some learners continue to come to school with torn shirts, trousers, or tracksuit pants. We ask that these items be repaired or replaced. A neat, standard uniform not only instils pride but also creates a sense of equality among all learners.
Yes, UNIFORM MATTERS!
BATTSWOOD ARTS SHOWCASE
Since the beginning of 2025, our Grade 7 learners have been attending the Battswood Art Centre in Grassy Park, where they have been exposed to dramatic arts, visual arts, and music.
