SCHOOL LIFE
We would like to welcome everyone back for another positive and productive second term. We trust you had a blessed holiday and a well-deserved rest.
Our charity drive last term was a great success, thank you for your donations. The Lenten and clothing collections all went to the TLC orphanage and the Easter Eggs to the Junior Mini Council.
SCHOOL UNIFORM
Learners are still to wear their summer uniform. If it is cold they may wear a jersey or dry-mac, not the tracksuit. Please ensure your child still wears a hat for outdoor play. No child will be permitted to do any outdoor activity without a hat. All learners are to change to their winter uniforms from 6 May. If it is still hot, learners may wear the short-sleeved shirt with their tracksuit. All uniforms must be clearly marked. A hair and uniform inspection was held today and teachers will make note in the learner’s diary of any corrections. Your co-operation is appreciated. You are welcome to visit our second hand uniform shop on Mondays and Wednesdays from 13:30 – 15:00.
