“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 />
