Foreign Languages Festival
Children in Reception Year to Grade 7 have been preparing items for recital in their specific foreign language (French, Spanish or Afrikaans). External judges shall be here to listen to these recitals. This is all in aid of encouraging the oral component of the foreign languages and to stimulate confidence in communicating in another language.
On Thursday, 21 June, parents of children in Reception Year to Grade 4 are invited to watch their child’s recital. This will take place at the Junior Campus (Dey Street) between 9:00 and 11:30.
The children in Grade 5, 6 and 7 shall recite to their peers and teachers from 12:30 to 13:30.
Community Collection
A sincere word of thanks is extended to all the children and students who were so generous in their donations of non-perishable foodstuff and blankets/toys for the poor. These will be most appreciated, particularly as the colder weather has arrived.
Progress Reports
Academic progress reports for students in Pre-R through to AS/A-Level shall be available for collection from the school office on Wednesday 20 June. Parents or a designated adult are required to collect and sign for their child’s academic report. No reports may be handed out before this date.
Congratulations
We wish to congratulate Teacher Heidi (Grade 3 Teacher) on her recent engagement, and extend best wishes to her and her fiancé as they proceed with wedding arrangements.
Winter Accessories
