As gevolg van die byeenkoms sal die skool op dié dag gesluit wees.

Die konsert vind reeds Donderdag 1 Februarie 2018 plaas. Die skool vertrou dat die ouers ons in hierdie verband sal ondersteun.
Die minagting van die gedragskode deur leerders verlam die onderwys sisteem as gevolg van die negatiewe invloed wat dit op leer en onderrig veroorsaak. Ouers word versoek om die skool in die verband van hulp te wees. Die gedragskode van die skool en beleidsdokumente is in die huiswerkboek wat u kind vandag ontvang het, aangebring. U word versoek om u van die inhoud van die kode te vergewis en met u kind te bespreek. Indien enige onsekerheid mag bestaan, word u versoek om dit met die graadhoof van u kind op te neem. U word vriendelik versoek om op Maandag 5 Februarie 2018 die aangehegte ontvangserkenning van die gedragskode na voltooiing aan die skool terug te stuur vir rekorddoeleindes.
U kind het die skoolgeldrekening vandag ontvang. Aangeheg by die rekening is ‘n lys van u en u kind se besonderhede. Ons sal dit waardeer indien u dit sal nagaan en verander waar nodig en op 5 Februarie 2018 deur middel van u kind terug stuur aan die register onderwyser(es) van u kind.
