NEWSLETTER No 33/17 18th October 2017

FROM THE DESK OF THE ACTING PRINCIPAL

PARENT INTERVIEWS/MEETINGS:

Thank you to the staff, in all phases in the school for hosting their parent

interviews in the various sections of the school. These meetings are

important as the staff and parents can plan constructively about the

academic and social development of each child. We, as staff,

appreciate the attendance of the parents at these interviews. Please

share any information that was discussed between the staff and parent so that

the child is aware of the positive input, praise or definite guidelines that need to

be implemented.

JP ART EXHIBITION:

It is encouraging to again be able to highlight another evening where we will be

displaying the artistic efforts of our learners, this time in the Junior Primary Grades

1/2/3. Thank you to all the JP staff who have been working closely with their class

for their respective individual and group work efforts. Art items will not be

auctioned off at this art exhibition. The exhibition will be held on Wednesday, 25th

October from 18h30 to 19h30 in the Barbara Franken Hall. You are reminded that

the exhibition is for adults only.

TRAVELLING BOOKSHOP:

Thank you Mrs Rubelli for organising this sale on Monday and Tuesday this week.

Thanks to the many staff, parents and learners who packed into the Drama room

over these two days. It is always heart-warming to note the genuine interest and

respect for reading and appreciation of books in general.

CUPPA FOR CANSA:

The Cuppa for Cansa Drive initiated

by the Early Act Club and

supervised by Miss Ramsay, will be

held on Thursday and Friday this

week. We thank Miss Ramsay for

her foresight in organising this fund-

raising drive which is for a worthy

cause.

I appeal to parents to please support this Cuppa for Cansa fund-raising drive.

CHINESE PAINTING COURSE:

The Chinese language and culture centre is offering our learners a painting

course which consists of 4 lessons. Special paper made of silk and brushes made

of animal hair will be supplied. Hence there is a cost of R50 per lesson. These

lessons will be conducted on Friday afternoons between 14h00 and 16h00.

Lessons will be offered to the Pre-Primary learners in the aftercare classes and to

Grade 3/4/5 in the homework centre class. The first 25 children to enrol will be

accepted in these classes.

I wish all Hindu families celebrating Diwali, a happy Diwali. Enjoy the celebrations.

All learners celebrating Diwali will be marked present for one day only.
