PEARSON NEWS / PEARSON-NUUS
HOËRSKOOL PEARSON HIGH SCHOOL
ISSUE/UITGAWE: 5/ 2015
END-OF-TERM/EINDE-VAN-KWARTAAL 1
FROM THE PRINCIPAL/VAN DIE SKOOLHOOF
Dit was 'n baie besige en suksesvolle eerste kwartaal, veral op sportgebied.
Pearsoniete het sover hierdie kwartaal op verskeie vlakke groot suksesse
behaal.
Learners have actually been fantastic with regard to the transition between the
summer sports and the start of the winter sports programme. The winter
season is one that calls for great commitment and all involved have to think
of the interests of the school and the team. Let asseblief daarop dat elke naweek in die win-
tersportseisoen wedstryde gespeel word. Ons vra dus dat ouers asseblief nie reëlings tref om
vir naweke weg te gaan nie.
I want to point out to all parents that, in future, we will be travelling as a school to fixtures
against other big schools outside Port Elizabeth. The first fixtures will be Rugby and Netball
games vs Oudtshoorn, and the Rugby Wynberg Festival. The teams will travel together in big
buses. We have communicated the cost of these tours via a letter that each player has re-
ceived. We understand that April will be a very expensive month, but we request parents to
see the value of these fixtures for the whole school. We are excited about this new era in our
sport, as we believe it will take Pearson another level.
I wish all our touring teams the best of luck and I should also like to wish you all a very
pleasant and restful holiday and a safe return next term. May this holiday be a special time
with your family and friends. Thank you for all the support this term.

build team spirit and foster a feeling of unity among all Pearsonites.

TERM 1 REPORTS
Enclosed please find your child’s first term report. We extend our congrat-ulations to all those learners who have obtained good results or performed to the best of their abilities. We trust that the others will take steps where necessary to ensure a better performance next term.
Die behaalde punt in elke vak mag dalk hoër wees as wat dit in Junie sal
wees omdat slegs 'n klein gedeelte nou getoets is. The mark indicated in
each subject is based on a number of tests and assignments completed
during the first term. It is a ‘continuous assessment mark’, which counts towards your child’s final
result at the end of this year.
You are reminded of the scheduled PARENT/TEACHER Evenings on TUESDAY, 14 April from
17:30 – 19:30, for Surnames A—L and WEDNESDAY, 15 April from 17:30—19:30, for Surnames
M—Z.
JOT CAMP 2015
A very successful, special camp was held at Waverley
Hills on 20—22 March. 100 Pearson learners attended.
The speakers and worship times were very significant
and very special.
Many young people were ministered to in a very deep
and meaningful way. We thank the Lord for the way
He touched the lives of all these young people.
SCHOOL UNIFORM
All learners are to wear summer uniform until FRIDAY, 17 APRIL. Full
winter uniform is compulsory from MONDAY, 20 April. This means that
every Pearson learner must have a blazer before 20 APRIL.
The boys and girls have been addressed about their uniform and appear-
ance. We are especially concerned about the neatness of the girls' hair and the incorrect
length of the girls' skirts. Die snit van die dogtersrompe is van so 'n aard dat dit om die
middellyf moet pas en nie op die heupe moet sit nie. Dieselfde geld vir die wintersrompe.
Parents must please support us with the uniform neatness policy. Learners not adhering
to the policy will be sent home and given a 3-hour Friday DT. Ons wil graag alle ouers
versoek om saam met ons te werk sodat leerders altyd hulle Pearsonskooldrag met trots
sal dra.
Our Clothing Shop will NOT be open during the holidays. The Used Clothing Shop is
open every Tuesday afternoon during the term from 14:00 - 15:00.
START OF TERM 2
1st Day: Term 2 starts on Monday, 13 April. We start with Week 1 (Day 1) on the
timetable. Neatness inspection will be held and sports’ practices start on the first
day.
Let wel: Ons verwag dat ons leerders op die eerste dag van volgende kwartaal
volgens die korrekte netheidsreëls sal terugkeer. Sportoefeninge sal op die
eerste dag reeds begin.
