Thank you to all learners, coaches and
parents who make a difference and add value to our beautiful school.
Please note that all participants must wear the correct sport clothing
for matches as communicated by the coach or organiser.
On the academic side we are full steam at work with class projects and some term tests
have already been written.
The
PRIMARY
Scene
Please note that, according to our code of conduct, we need a medical certificate when
your child is absent during a term test in order to avoid a 0 mark. A sick test will then be
scheduled. Should your child be absent during class assignments/projects, please inform
the teacher immediately and make alternative arrangements. If this is not adhered to, the
learner will also receive a 0 mark.
We kindly request that doctors’ appointments be scheduled during the afternoons.
Sponsor forms for our yearly soapbox derby have already been handed out to you
child. Thank you for the funds that have already been paid in. There is stiff competition
between the classes and learners are looking forward to the weekly announcement of
the frontrunners! A new addition to the soapbox day is the carnival rides that will definitely
add a whole new atmosphere to the day.
We would like to bid Mr Pieter van Wyk (new Operational head at the High School) a
warm welcome to the Curro family.
I am closing off with an invitation to all parents to contact me at alta.t02@curro.co.za to
bring any problems under my attention or to share wonderful achievements with us.
Warm greetings!
