ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (BUDGET PRESENTATION):

The Budget for 2027 was presented to and passed unanimously by all parents who attended the Budget Presentation Meeting yesterday, Thursday 12 November in the school hall. The school fee structure for 2027 was discussed in detail with the attending parents. The criteria for exemptions were discussed and all required resolutions were passed as well. The summary below is for our parents who did not attend the meeting, so that they can budget for the school fees for 2027. All parents were informed regularly via the last couple of newsletters about these meetings and all decisions taken in your absence yesterday, are binding for the year 2027.

NOVEMBER EXAMS:

• Please take note that all children in grades 4 to 7 started with their final exams already. Please make sure that your child is well prepared for the exams.
• Unfortunately, no child will be allowed to enter the examination room late. The rest of the children who were on time cannot be inconvenienced by a late comer. Please ensure that your child is at school latest 07:15, as the school day starts at 07:20.
• Should a child miss out on a paper due to illness, a doctor’s note is required to allow the child to do the exam at a later stage.
• Please make sure that your child eats breakfast before coming to school. No child can concentrate on an empty stomach. A healthy lunch for break time is recommended. Please refrain from sending the child to school with sweets and unhealthy food.
• The discipline system stays in place during the exam time and learners who transgress and booked for detention, will have to sit the detentions on Fridays.
• As per our previous communications to you, the school is closing daily at 13:00 for the children. Please make sure that you communicate this time with your transport providers as well, to ensure that your child is fetched from school on time.
• Good luck to all children with the exams. Work hard and you will succeed.

DETENTION:

Please note that detention will start at 13:15 and end at 15:15 for the duration of the exam period. Please arrange your child’s transport accordingly.
