We hope that everyone has had a lovely summer break and has come back energised and rested. We look forward to the many learning opportunities that lay ahead this year.

Reminder

Please note that the designated staff car park (including the turning circle) is not to be used by parents. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

 

Lost Property

As mentioned at our first Assembly, the lost property on display in the Primary Forum will be disposed of by the end of the week if not claimed. Please help yourself before it all goes!!!

 

Make a Difference

Our Secondary School South Africa Tour students are looking forward to visiting JJ Haven and Sinethemba children’s homes in April with a group of 18 Year 10 students from both campuses. To help students less privileged, the team is asking our community if they have any of the following items to donate:

• Priority items include black school shoes of any size, school bags and pencil cases.
• Uniforms, particularly grey trousers and white polos.
• Non-liquid toiletries including toothbrushes and sanitary pads.
• Children’s clothing – particularly warm items.
• Sports shoes, soccer boots (boys and girls), soccer kits

We, of course, welcome any donations from our school community but the above specific items will make a real difference in people’s lives.

Donations can be dropped in a labelled box located in the Primary Forum until 23 March.

Thank you in anticipation for your generosity.

The South Africa Tour Team
