REMINDERS

We kindly request you to assist the school by adopting the following:

Clearly mark all your children’s clothing for positive identification. A lot of items (school uniform) without

name tags have been found and some remain unclaimed.

School starts at 7.30 a.m. and we expect all pupils to be in school by 7.20 a.m.

If your child is medically unfit, a doctor’s certificate is needed for the child to be exempted from sporting

activities.

Every effort should be made where possible for medical appointments to take place outside school hours.

Bring day school students back to school by 1.45 p.m. for afternoon lessons. Our afternoon lessons start

at 1.50 p.m. and not 2.00 p.m.
