HIGH SCHOOL
that took place the previous
week. Feedback from all
these performances was
heart-warming. My biggest
congratulations go to each
and every one that did
take part regardless of the
accolades. We are going
to stage a Gala evening
celebrating the talents of our
learners. Please be on the
lookout regarding the date
for this prestigious evening.
Our drama group will also
participate in the Tshwane
Youth Arts Festival being
held in the State Theatre.
My challenge in future is to
write as much on culture as
on sport.
Congratulations are in order
to the newly elected prefects.
This group of energetic and
wide eyed learners with
whom I had the privilege
on spending time with, are
going to help me make a
building into a school in
2018. By the way, do yourself
a favour and have a look at
the progression of the new
school, it is phenomenal.
My best wishes and prayers
to our matriculates on
the dawn of the Prelims.
This should be your only
priority and if you put in
the time now, the harvest
will be so much greater.
Thank you very much to all
the parents that attended
parents evening. We really
appreciate your involvement
especially in the light of our
partnership. The rest of the
school experienced a natural
occurrence in the drop of
averages from term one to
term two purely because of
smaller assessments in term
one compared to exams in
term two. What I don’t except
is the margin especially
in certain subjects. I am
currently investigating this
phenomenon and putting
measures in place to prevent
it from happening again.
Sooner rather than later
we are going to start
with a big drive to
address what our
learners look like
in conjunction
with the “Parent
Action Committee”.
N o r m a l
communication will
be sent to parents
but the responsibility
of the day to day
communication will
be with your son or
daughter. If a learner
should miss a formal
assessment, test or exam,
a doctor’s note would be the
Pieter van Wyk - Operational head
only excuse in doing so. We
must start functioning like a
private school on all levels.
Many thanks to the Executive
head Mr Ferdi Niemand
for all his guidance and
leadership as well as the
greater management team
of the school, parents and
learners. Last but not least
thank you to the staff that are
really putting in a big effort.
Finally I would like to invite
you as a parent to come and
introduce yourself and share
in my open door policy.
Best wishes for the rest of
the term.
