Newsletter No 36 of 2024 – End of year

END OF YEAR REFLECTION

Dear parents and learners of Delta Primary School. What an extremely busy and challenging year it has been for staff, learners and parents. The rapidly changing landscape within the school as well as constant changes and demands of education has pulled us in so many directions that we often quite literally found ourselves spinning to meet all the demands. 

Nevertheless the resilience shown by the teaching staff as well as the support staff has made it possible to complete the academic year, with some bruising but a smile on our face knowing that we were able to complete the main task i.e teaching our children. 

Many of our boys and girls understand that we demand a high standard of work from them, and they have risen to the occasion. Nevertheless, some learners remain a work in progress. We, however, still appreciate the fact that to some degree we have planted seeds of hope which in time we pray will germinate to yield positive  results. 

Parents, we wish to thank you for being our partners on this journey in spite of the difference of ideology, you understand that we only want the best for every child at Delta Primary School. Please take care of yourself as well as your loved ones. Enjoy a peaceful Advent and Christmas period, be safe on the roads.

DEPARTURE OF COLLEAGUES

The school bids farewell to Mr. Davids, who has been part of the staff since 2019. He enters into retirement and we wish him only the best of health in this new phase of his life. We extend thanks and appreciation to our contract teachers ( Ms. Moses, Ms. Hattjes, Mrs. Lottering, Mr. Baderoen)

LEARNER SAFETY

The festive season brings along a sense of relaxation and a break from the demands of our daily routine. In this regard I wish to advocate that we be vigilant with regards to the safety of our children, in particular when we are near water and open fires. 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. Boys and girls We are  asking that you please take care of yourself and be obedient to your parents.
