THANK YOU

The support from parents and friends over the past week has been overwhelming. Thank you so much to Mrs. du Plooy for the flowers in the church (yellow especially for Mr. Moss), to Mrs. van der Westhuizen for the music and the choir item and to the parents and the BPA who put on a scrumptious spread after the service. Many thanks too, to Mrs. Relton for offering to come in until we have a replacement for Mr. Moss.

OUR NEW TIMETABLE

We have been through many scenarios to come up with the one we believe will be the best for the children, the teachers and you, the parents, as well as to comply with the contact time. We have cut out the registration time, and limited community time and assemblies. This has enabled us to manipulate the times to give you a new-look weekly timetable. It means that we are no longer able to offer the extra-murals during school time for the grade ones and twos. These will now take place after the school day. We can, however, have an earlier home-time on a Friday. I do hope these times will alleviate the stress on all concerned. I am aware that I cannot please all of the people all of the time.
