SURFWALK COLLECTING LIST
Learners have received the surf walk collecting list. I have set an ambitious target of 80 K as a target for the gross takings onto our balance sheet. Given the fact that we are in excess of 800 learners and if every child commits to collecting R100 and more this target can easily be achieved. Some of our learners have already started receiving their incentive awards for collecting R150. We encourage all families to get behind the surf walk and purpose towards achieving our target.

INTERHOUSE 2024
The school inter-house track events are planned for 28 February 2024 at the Solo Sports facility in Steenberg. Parents are allowed to attend the event. A gate fee of R10 per adult and R5 per child ( non delta) will be charged at the gate. The sports day primarily is for our Grade 4 – 7 learners. Where parents can make arrangements for grade R-3 learners it would be greatly appreciated, so that we can best manage the day. Delta Primary Foundation learners will not be charged at the gate. Please bring along an umbrella and sun hat. Seating for parents will be indicated by the security marshals.
VALENTINES DAY SUCCESS
Thank you to all our boys and girls who supported Valentine’s Day on Wednesday the 14 February 2024. All of you were smartly dressed and you contributed to a pleasant fundraising day.
SGB 2024 – VALIDATION MEETINGS
What is a validation meeting ?
A validation meeting is a meeting where the School Electoral Officer (SEO) comes to the school where,he/she was placed to manage the SGB election process. On this particular day he/she checks whether the required number of valid nominations for parents who wish to serve on SGB has been placed in the nomination box.
What happens when 5 parents have been nominated at the 1st validation meeting to serve as the SGB reps and they have been validated by the SEO ?
If only 5 parents have been nominated by other parents , and the SEO has validated that the nominees are in fact parents/ guardians and eligible to serve on the SGB. The elections for SGB are then concluded. NO further process will be undertaken . The 5 parents would legally constitute the `new SGB`
What happens if less than 5 parents have been nominated at the first validation meeting to serve as the SGB reps and they have been validated by the SEO ?
If less than 5 parents have been nominated at the 1st validation meeting , the SEO will call a 2nd validation meeting to receive more nominations. If a total of 5 parent nominations cumulatively ( 1st and 2nd validation meeting) has been received in total the process is complete.NO further process will be undertaken . The 5 parents would legally constitute the `new SGB`
What happens if more than 5 parent nominations are received at the 1st validation meeting ?
If more than 5 parents have been nominated and the SEO has validated the nominations the process will revert to parent elections. In the case of Delta Primary School this would happen on the 14 March 2024 from 08.30 to 15.30.
