QUARTER 1 – CIRCULAR 3

13 February 2017

 

Dear Parents

 

QUARTER 1  –  CIRCULAR  3

 

Please take note of the following important matters:

1.      1^ST QUARTER:  MINI-EXAMINATION

• Attached please find the 1^st quarter mini-examination timetable.
• Because of the fact that the musical, Step Out, will be performed from middle March onwards, the learners will write two subjects per day.
• During this period of time the school day will managed as follows:
  • Exam session 1
  • Break
  • Exam session 2
  • Break
  • Winter sport practice, as well as Step Out practice
  • Learners who are neither taking part in sport, nor in Step Out, remain in class and will study for the following day’s exam.
  • When the school day ends at 13:30, there will be NO extra mural practices.  Learners can then concentrate on their studies only.
  • Please take note:  on both Fridays there will be only ONE SESSION.  After the exam session, it will be a normal school day.
  • Please do not come and sign your child out unnecessarily during this period of time.
  • Should your child be too sick to come and write the exam, it is COMPULSORY for your child to hand in a DOCTOR’S NOTE.

 

2.      PROGRAMME FOR THE WEEK 13 FEBRUARY – 17 FEBRUARY

• Attached please find the programme for this week.
• Friday, 17 February, is going to be a fun day for the whole school, except the athletes.
• School will close at 12:00 on Friday.
• Inter high tickets:  all remaining entrance tickets will be returned to Barberton on Wednesday, 15 February.  Should you still have to buy your tickets, you will have to do so without fail.

 

• 3.      INTERHIGH ATHLETICS – SATURDAY 18 FEBRUARY
• Busses will leave at 05:00 exactly.  Your child will have to be seated at 04:45 already.
• Bus fare will be R30,00.
• Your child will have to put on enough sun block and take some with as well.
• NO MEMBER OF THE SPIRIT TEAM MAY LET THE TEAM DOWN ON SATURDAY!  PLEASE SEE TO IT THAT YOUR CHILD IS THERE AND ON TIME.
• The busses should be back at school at 18:30.

 

PLEASE BE ON TIME IN ORDER TO FETCH YOUR CHILD WHEN THE BUSSES ARRIVE!

• In the first place it is unfair to expect of your child to sit and wait for your, after a very long day, while the rest of the learners leave.
• In the second place it is totally unacceptable to expect of the teachers to look after your child until you decide to come and fetch him / her.  Over the past two Saturdays the teachers had to wait for more than an hour for parents to come and fetch their children!
• Thank you very much to every parent who is always on time to fetch their child/ren.  The teachers do appreciate it!

 

Bergvlam greetings
