Tours – 2019 Educational Tours - organisational and booking

deadlines : With our tours scheduled to depart

next week for their various destinations, there is

still a great deal of organisation which has to be

done and deadlines which have to be met when

planning school tours which collectively have to

accommodate between 400 and 500 pupils and

supervising members of staff during the course

of the week at the venues in the country.

It is important to note that all requirements

have to be met before a child is able to go on

tour. Please ensure that all documentation is

completed and returned to the register class

teacher timeously. This year our tours (grade 4

to 7) are scheduled to take place next week from

26 August to 30 August. Details for the

different grades and their destinations can be

found in the table above. Please note that no

electronic devices (cellphones, tablets etc) are

allowed on the tours. Parents are advised to limit

the amount of money given for tuckshop

purchases as well. The departure times stated

above for the various grades will be adhered so

please ensure that you plan your morning

accordingly as no buses will be delayed for late

comers.

Further information on each tour is available on

the tour requirements letter.

Condolences Our condolences to Rebecca and Raymond Qian

and their family on the passing of their mother

recently as well as to Mrs Botes and Ms

Woodward and their families with the passing of

both their fathers recently.

Summer Uniform With the weather showing signs of warming up a

little sooner than previous years, pupils can start

to wear their summer uniform this week with all

pupils expected to be in their summer uniform by

2 September.

SGB – Safety and Security Meeting Towards the end of August, the security

portfolio of the SGB will be hosting a meeting

and input on future improvements. If you would

like to attend the security meeting, please
