Dear Parents, We have come to the end of a very busy, successful term. We say a big thank you to all our parents for their continued support – we are very grateful to you all as we would not be able to maintain our high standards without your assistance. In the light of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s address to the Nation on Sunday, 15 March 2020, I would like to emphasise the following:
A special thank you to all our staff for the hard work and extra hours put in to get reports out on time.
We will confirm when school will re-open for Term 2
Reports not collected will be issued on the first day of Term 2.
Due to teaching time lost, because of the additional holiday period, each Grade prepared work to be completed by learners during this time. This was communicated via email, the School Communicator (www.school-communicator.com) or Class Dojo. Please ensure that you keep abreast of all communication, from the school, during this time.
The school will still be closed on 28, 29 and 30 April 2020, as approved by the GDE
The Grade 4, 5 and 7 tours, scheduled to take place in April 2020, have been postponed. Please refer to the new dates for the Grade 4, 5 and 7 tour on page 17.
The Autumn Fair / Go-Kart Day has been postponed and will take place on Saturday, 1 August 2020.
The Grade R Open Day on Saturday, 18 April 2020, will be confirmed.
School closure does not mean it is ok to take your children to the movies, ice skating,
paintball, fast food joints, play dates or any other place of entertainment. It means that you
need to keep your children at home so that the virus does not spread.

LITTER PROBLEM
Parents need to teach their children the devastating effects littering has on our environment. By teaching your child good values, morals and respect for others and the environment around them they will realise the importance of cleaning up after themselves. Remember that you as parents lead by example, so please do not toss cigarette butts or other rubbish out of your car window. By teaching your child the following 4 basic rules you can help us fight the litter problem we have at our school and the surrounding community area: 1. Don’t throw rubbish on the ground. 2. If you aren’t close to a dustbin, hold onto your rubbish until you get to one. 3. Don’t let your friends litter around you. 4. Pick up litter when you see it. If children don’t see litter on the ground, they are less likely to litter
