“For to be free is not merely<br />
to cast off one’s chains, but<br />
to live in a way that respects<br />
and enhances the freedom of<br />
others.”<br />
- Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela*<br />
Welcome back to all our learners and<br />
staff after a well-deserved holiday.<br />
Several of our learners represented<br />
our school either overseas or at home<br />
in a number of activities. I extend a<br />
word of thanks to all the learners and<br />
staff who represented our school in<br />
an exemplary manner and proved to<br />
be true ambassadors of our school<br />
and community. We are at the<br />
beginning of yet another jam-packed<br />
term filled with lots of activities and<br />
opportunities to excel and perform. I<br />
would again like to encourage all our<br />
learners to take part in our school<br />
MESSAGE FROM THE OFFICE<br />
activities and help us<br />
fulfil our dream of being a<br />
school of excellence.<br />
Discipline and a neat<br />
appearance are the<br />
cornerstones of our<br />
school. I urge you to<br />
make sure that your<br />
child wears the correct<br />
school uniform and that<br />
the uniform is neat and<br />
tidy. Sport attire may not<br />
be mixed with the school<br />
uniform. Discipline starts<br />
as soon as your child<br />
arrives at school, and<br />
as such I am concerned<br />
about the number of<br />
learners still arriving late<br />
at school. School starts<br />
promptly at 07:45 in the<br />
morning and I expect<br />
of all learners to be at<br />
school before then. In the<br />
future, we will be taking<br />
strong action against latecomers<br />
at school.<br />
During the upcoming<br />
weeks we will engage<br />
with you as parents<br />
through a number of<br />
very important meetings<br />
regarding matters of<br />
mutual concern. I call on<br />
you as parents to please<br />
attend these meetings<br />
and to share your<br />
thoughts and ideas with<br />
us. As stakeholders of<br />
our school I perceive your<br />
input as paramount in the<br />
success of our school in<br />
years to come. Invitations<br />
and letters regarding<br />
these meetings will be<br />
sent out in due course.<br />
During the past week<br />
we celebrated the<br />
centenary birthday of<br />
Madiba. As a school,<br />
we would also like<br />
to add our voice to<br />
those of the millions<br />
of South Africans who<br />
are constructively and<br />
positively building the<br />
South Africa Madiba<br />
dreamt of. Let us work<br />
and build together.<br />
I wish all our staff,<br />
learners and parents all<br />
the best for this term.<br />
Kind regards<br />
Ferdi Niemand<br />
