Message from Middies governing body 2017
A new governing body was elected in March 2015 and a number of new faces joined the committee.
The motto of the governing body is “from good to great”, and it is our intention to try and carve out a path taking Middies there. Our focus is on preparing our children for life after their school years. Whether it be for further studies or to take up their respective roles in the jobs market after matric.
A huge number of changes have already taken place in the past year:
Rugby supporters club seating.
Guardhouse at main school entrance.
Guardhouse at Kentucky entrance.
Improvements to grass on sports fields.
Painting a number of classrooms.
Replacing many broken windows.
Netball courts resurfaced.
G-block roof and gutters.
Painting exterior of Excelda hostel and replacing part of it’s roof with stainless steel sheeting.
Palisade around academic block.
Roof of the pavilion replaced with stainless steel.
Palisade fences and new motor gates.
Improvements to bathrooms.
We have also made significant strides in improving the IT of the school with a sophisticated WiFi network that enables us to roll out e-learning to all classes. Indeed a massive and daunting project that will free up our teachers’ time so that they can do more of what they are good at – teaching.
In the academic field we are working to give teachers all the tools they need to enhance teaching - several interactive whiteboards have been put up, projectors and computers purchased. The Classroom Management modules of Saspack is currently being rolled out to enable classroom administration to be done on line through the WiFi network. This enables faster reporting and quicker response to any problems that may be unfolding or opportunities that may be developing.
The financial situation in South Africa and especially Middelburg is very tough and many of the above has been achieved through sponsorships and fund raising: the governing body salutes the Middelburg community and our Middies parents for the helping!
The governing body has an open door policy and would welcome any constructive advice and/or criticism. We are proud of our school and are actively involved in the activities of our school. We would like all our fellow parents to be actively involved in our school.
