JP SATURDAY MORNING SPORT The learners who came to early morning sport last Saturday

had so much fun in spite of the cooler weather To name just

a few of the activities the girls had to aim for and throw

hoops over poles collect balls of different colours and play Tag rugby which is a skill without contact Mr Boucher had

the boys doing many exciting skills using a rugby ball There

were many enthusiastic dads who each had a team of boys

in their care They had to pass the ball roll with the ball and

then kick it The hour passes very quickly and I would like to

encourage even more families to join in the fun

LEARNERSrsquo HAIR CUTS The girls must tie up their hair if it reaches the collar If the

fringe is long it may be clipped back so that it is not in the

eyes while the child is working There will be a general hair

inspection next week so please ensure that your son has ahair cut before that time

Yours sincerely

these exams will cover all work learnt since the beginning

of the academic year The educators have encouraged their

classes to start revising work every day for homework and

in doing so they will feel adequately equipped to write the

exams Revision work is also taking place in the classrooms

as well as being given for homework so it is very important

for your child to make every effort to catch up on work

missed should heshe be absent

JP SATURDAY MORNING SPORT The learners who came to early morning sport last Saturday

had so much fun in spite of the cooler weather To name just

a few of the activities the girls had to aim for and throw

hoops over poles collect balls of different colours and play Tag rugby which is a skill without contact Mr Boucher had

the boys doing many exciting skills using a rugby ball There

were many enthusiastic dads who each had a team of boys

in their care They had to pass the ball roll with the ball and

then kick it The hour passes very quickly and I would like to

encourage even more families to join in the fun

LEARNERSrsquo HAIR CUTS The girls must tie up their hair if it reaches the collar If the

fringe is long it may be clipped back so that it is not in the

eyes while the child is working There will be a general hair

inspection next week so please ensure that your son has ahair cut before that time

If you have not already done so parents I urge you to workout an exam preparation time table for your child so that he

she will be thoroughly prepared for the exams which will be

written in about 2frac12 weeksrsquo time The learners are aware that

these exams will cover all work learnt since the beginning

of the academic year The educators have encouraged their

classes to start revising work every day for homework and

in doing so they will feel adequately equipped to write the

exams Revision work is also taking place in the classrooms

as well as being given for homework so it is very important

for your child to make every effort to catch up on work

missed should heshe be absent

JP SATURDAY MORNING SPORT The learners who came to early morning sport last Saturday

had so much fun in spite of the cooler weather To name just

a few of the activities the girls had to aim for and throw

hoops over poles collect balls of different colours and play Tag rugby which is a skill without contact Mr Boucher had

the boys doing many exciting skills using a rugby ball There

were many enthusiastic dads who each had a team of boys

in their care They had to pass the ball roll with the ball and

then kick it The hour passes very quickly and I would like to

encourage even more families to join in the fun

LEARNERSrsquo HAIR CUTS The girls must tie up their hair if it reaches the collar If the

fringe is long it may be clipped back so that it is not in the

eyes while the child is working There will be a general hair

inspection next week so please ensure that your son has ahair cut before that time

Yours sincerely

If you have not already done so parents I urge you to workout an exam preparation time table for your child so that he

she will be thoroughly prepared for the exams which will be

written in about 2frac12 weeksrsquo time The learners are aware that

these exams will cover all work learnt since the beginning

of the academic year The educators have encouraged their

classes to start revising work every day for homework and

in doing so they will feel adequately equipped to write the

exams Revision work is also taking place in the classrooms

as well as being given for homework so it is very important

for your child to make every effort to catch up on work

missed should heshe be absent

If you have not already done so parents I urge you to workout an exam preparation time table for your child so that he

she will be thoroughly prepared for the exams which will be

written in about 2frac12 weeksrsquo time The learners are aware that

these exams will cover all work learnt since the beginning

of the academic year The educators have encouraged their

classes to start revising work every day for homework and

in doing so they will feel adequately equipped to write the

exams Revision work is also taking place in the classrooms

as well as being given for homework so it is very important

for your child to make every effort to catch up on work

missed should heshe be absent

My quote for the week is a delightful Swedish proverb that

says ldquoFear less hope more Eat less chew more Whine less

breathe more Talk less say more Love more and all good

JP SATURDAY MORNING SPORT The learners who came to early morning sport last Saturday

had so much fun in spite of the cooler weather To name just

a few of the activities the girls had to aim for and throw

hoops over poles collect balls of different colours and play Tag rugby which is a skill without contact Mr Boucher had

the boys doing many exciting skills using a rugby ball There

were many enthusiastic dads who each had a team of boys

in their care They had to pass the ball roll with the ball and

then kick it The hour passes very quickly and I would like to

encourage even more families to join in the fun

LEARNERSrsquo HAIR CUTS The girls must tie up their hair if it reaches the collar If the

fringe is long it may be clipped back so that it is not in the

eyes while the child is working There will be a general hair

inspection next week so please ensure that your son has ahair cut before that time

Yours sincerely

JP SATURDAY MORNING SPORT The learners who came to early morning sport last Saturday

had so much fun in spite of the cooler weather To name just

a few of the activities the girls had to aim for and throw

hoops over poles collect balls of different colours and play Tag rugby which is a skill without contact Mr Boucher had

the boys doing many exciting skills using a rugby ball There

were many enthusiastic dads who each had a team of boys

in their care They had to pass the ball roll with the ball and

then kick it The hour passes very quickly and I would like to

encourage even more families to join in the fun

LEARNERSrsquo HAIR CUTS The girls must tie up their hair if it reaches the collar If the

fringe is long it may be clipped back so that it is not in the

eyes while the child is working There will be a general hair

inspection next week so please ensure that your son has ahair cut before that time

Yours sincerely

P van der Walt ACTING DEPUTY PRINCIPAL
