Announcements

Dear Parents / Guardians,

I hope this message finds you in good health. Please take note of the following important matters for the coming week:

SCHOOL WHATSAPP CHAT GROUPS (2026):

You can join the school’s various WhatsApp chat groups by clicking on each relevant Grade’s below:

MESSAGE FROM THE SGB CHAIRPERSON:

Working Together for a Successful Term 2 – I want to start by thanking our teachers for their deep commitment, our parents for their constant involvement, and our learners who worked so hard during the first term.

PAYMENT OF SCHOOL FEES:

Report cards reflect a learner’s academic progress, while school fee invoices reflect the financial commitment required from parents to support their child’s education. These two go hand in hand. We urge all parents to keep school fees up to date. Without your contributions, we cannot sustain the quality of education or retain our valued teachers. Thank you to many parents who remain committed to fulfilling this responsibility—your support is truly appreciated.

SCHOOL UNIFORM:

We are experiencing challenges with some learners not adhering to the school’s uniform policy. Learners are arriving at school in incorrect jerseys, jackets, trousers, socks, and shoes. Please ensure your child is dressed in the proper, clean, and neat school uniform each day. Only official school colours are permitted. If your child needs to wear additional warm clothing, it must be worn underneath the school uniform. Your cooperation is essential in maintaining a sense of discipline and unity.
