JOT hosted another highly

treated to Worship Bands and

Guest Speakers from around the city, visiting

ADVERTISEMENTS FOR

PEARSON 2014 YEARBOOK We appeal to all parents of learners to help us with

adverts for the Yearbook by either advertising their own

businesses or the businesses for which they work.

Adverts are very affordable and copies of the Yearbook will

be issued to all learners at the end of the year, thus reaching nearly

1000 families. Please contact Karen Beckett on becketts@lantic.net

or 082 823 2396.

Ons vra ouers om ons asseblief te ondersteun deur advertensies in

ons Jaarblad te plaas. Kontak asseblief vir Karen Beckett vir be-

sonderhede. Ons maak staat op ons ouers om ons hiermee te help.

LIBRARY Last week at the Parents' evening, the PIC Library

mothers arranged a raffle and a book sale by Exclusive

Books to raise funds for the Library. We had a successful evening -

the ladies managed to sell all the raffle tickets and raised over R2 000.

Also, about R1 000 worth of books were donated to add to our

collection.

We are pleased to announce that the winner of the raffle is

Mrs Marelise Pretorius, mother of Christiaan Pretorius in Grade 10.

Congratulations to the Pretorius family and a huge thank-you to all the

parents who supported this endeavour and also to the mothers who

work so hard behind the scenes making the library a better place for us

all to enjoy.

IMPORTANT NOTICE RE MONDAY, 4 AUGUST

Please note that on Monday, 4 August, school will close at 11:00.

Many sports teams and staff will travel to Grahamstown at 11:30 for our

annual fixture against Kingswood and Victoria Girls' College. As Kingswood is playing St

Andrew's (who will be on holiday from next week) over the weekend, they have requested

that we play them on Monday. Unfortunately, there is no other way to retain this fixture this

season.

We will have the first 4 academic periods on Monday (Day 6) before leaving for

Grahamstown. We will make up the other two academic periods of Monday,

during the term.

MATRIC FASHION SHOW / MATRIEKMODEPARADE

The matrics are very keen to continue with the Matric Fashion Show where they will model their matric

outfits. This will take place on the first day of their block study period on Monday, 20 October, in the

Deary Hall, from 18:00 to 19:00.

Ticket prices will be advised at a later date. Hou asseblief hierdie datum oop om die matrieks te onder-

steun met hierdie fondsinsamelingsprojek.
