MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPALSCHOOL STARTING TIMESSchool for
learners starts at 07h25 in the morning for our Grade 1 to Grade 7
learn-ers. Please ensure that your child is on time for the start
of the day. Being late not only disrupts classes but also unsettles
the child that is late because they do not feel prepared for that
lesson or the day ahead. Learners who are late must report to the
front desk and not go directly to class.
HAVE YOU LOCKED YOUR CAR?Criminals loiter in parking lots or sit
in vehicles and over-ride your remote signal as you click and
casually walk away. You may think youve locked your car but it is
still open. When youre away items of value are swiftly removed. No
broken glass, no forced entry and no insurance payout!
To ensure your safety, we recommend the following steps: Store
all items in your boot, but dont pack away in full view of the
criminals
lurking in the parking lots. Lock your car with your key, or if
you must use electronic means physically
check the doors before leaving. Prevent Smash & Grabs by
keeping seats and floor clear of valuables when
driving and by keeping all doors locked. Keep your windows
closed at intersections. Continually check that you are not being
followed.
Be aware be safe. ~ Mr Leon Botha
SCHOLAR PATROLOPERATION PROCEDURESTo support and enhance the
effectiveness of the Scholar Patrol at our school, we request all
parents and learners to share this pedestrian facility responsibly.
Please adhere to the following rules:
All pedestrians must cross the road at the assigned scholar
patrol crossings. When the whistle is blown and the monitors
indicate it is safe to cross, please
co-operate responsibly. Do not stop or park on the demarcated
areas outside the school gates. Beacons are put out close to the
scholar patrol area, please do not ignore
them or drive over them. Do not obstruct the scholar patrol
members view of oncoming traffic, there-
by endangering the lives of pedestrians. When scholar patrol
team members or our security request parents to move
their vehicles, please accept these directives. The Scholar
Patrol members are doing a voluntary service to safeguard the
learners crossing the road safely and in an orderly manner. Your
tolerance and support at the Scholar Patrol crossings would be
highly appreciated.
Please be extra cautious on rainy days.By adhering to these
procedures, parents can be role models for our learners.Mr Botha
and I would like to thank the Scholar Patrol learners for their
hard work
and commitment to the team. It is a challenging task for them to
undertake, dealing with traffic situations outside the school as
well as being responsible for the safety of our Bryanston learners
crossing the road.
We are proud of you all! Safety is as simple as ABC - Always Be
Careful.Remember: Road Safety is everybodys responsibility! ~ Mrs
Tania Roman

GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTSART DEPARTMENT SHOUT-OUTMrs Frank is
looking for used ice-cream containers and empty food tins for art
projects this term. Please send any items you can spare with your
child to the art room.
FORGOTTEN ITEMSIf a child has forgotten any item at home, they
are to suffer the consequences.
The staff have been instructed NOT to accept any item during
school hours. The reason for this is that it interrupts the front
office staff, the educators and the learners.
Annual Easter Egg Charity Drive
We are beginning our annual Easter Egg charity drive and would
appreciate your support in collecting East-er eggs for the less
fortunate.
Please only send the soft marshmellow Easter eggs, either in
boxes or strips or even just send one or two loose ones.
We will be distributing the eggs to three churches in our area
who then distribute the eggs to the out-reaches they are involved
in.
Please send the Easter eggs to your class educator before
Thursday 11 March 2015.
There are many children who are going to have a better Easter
because of you!
CAR SEATS FOR KIDS CAMPAIGN
Our Scholar Patrol members actively promote our Car Seat for
Kids Campaign on a yearly basis. We promote road safety to learners
within the school and we focus on the importance of learners using
seatbelts and on or babies and toddlers being strapped into their
car seats.
As a Bryanston family, we are aware that there are
parents/family members who might have unwanted car seats gathering
dust. We appeal to you to donate all unwanted baby and toddler car
seats to our scholar patrol team.
Car seats can be delivered to reception with your name and
surname on it so that we are aware of who donated them. We are in
partnership with Wheel Well, Imperial I-Pledge and 94.7. These car
seats will be donated to low income families. Your continued
support in ensuring road safety is greatly appreciated.
Together, we can make the difference!~Mrs Roman and The Scholar
Patrol team of 2015
FROM THE FINANCE DEPARTMENTFEES EXEMPTIONApplication forms for
School Fees Exemption will be available from Monday, 9th February
2015. Parents must collect application forms, in person, from the
school Finance Office.
Closing date for applications 1st term: 20th March 2015.
TOURS 2015The Grade Four to Seven tours are a great highlight in
the BPS calendar every year.
The tours are self-funded and the cost of the 2015 tours are
still to be deter-mined. We would like to offer parents the
opportunity to start contributing to-wards the tours early in the
year and split the cost over sev-eral months.
The costs of the 2014 tours can be used as a guideline (Grade 4
R900; Grade 5 R1570; Grade 6 R2250 & Grade 7 R2500).
Should you decide to start making contributions now, please note
the referencing to be used when making pay-ments: Surname, first
name, tour i.e. Maepa, Leo (Tour).
MYSCHOOL NEWSYoull be glad to hear that December 2014 was BPSs
best MySchool month ever. We raised almost R2000 more than in
Decem-ber 2013!
Thanks to everyone who helped with our December campaign and who
got us this far. Your assistance and your useful sug-gestions are
invaluable. As always please keep spreading the word to other
parents about how the MySchool card works and encourage everyone
you know at school to swipe their cards
CARDS AT SHOPFor those who dont have cards, Wendy van Blerk has
MySchool cards at the uni-form shop so please tell other parents
about this. She also has forms to fill out if they want to change
to BPS as a beneficiary or replace a lost card.
UPDATE ON THE WEBBeneficiary details can be changed by going to
the website: www.myschool.co.za so anyone who hasnt done so yet can
immediately change their beneficiary to Bryanston Primary
ANYONE CAN BE A MYSCHOOL CARD HOLDERThere is a misconception
that you have to have children at the school to be a My-School card
holder. This isnt true. Anyone can select BPS as their beneficiary
so people outside the school, grandparents etc can have a card.
Please spread the word.
Thanks again and keep swiping! ~ The Bryanston Fundraising
Committee
