PARENTS’ EVENING

Wednesday 29 March 2006 17h00 to 19h00 Please use the Parents’ Evening as an opportunity to meet your child’s teacher. There will, obviously, not be sufficient time to deal with serious issues, but it affords both parties the chance to form a partnership to assist your children. Grades 1 to 5 own classrooms Grades 6 and 7 in the hall

VANDALISM AND THEFT

There has been a spate of vandalism. Several toilets have suffered damage, toilet paper replaces ceiling paint, school uniforms blocking toilets. We do everything we can to ensure clean, healthy toilets. Reporting vandalism is not “splitting”, it is being a responsible citizen. Please assist us by enforcing these values. The theft monster is rearing its ugly head again. Please ensure that your children do not bring any valuables to school. Children must make sure that all tog-bags are placed in the classrooms during break. Theft is a very serious matter and we investigate all incidents.

TRAFFIC

Last Friday, my worst nightmare became a reality. Thankfully, no damage was done and both driver and pedestrian were unharmed. The observance of the traffic rules around the school is a priority. Far too many parents are parking badly, facing into on-coming traffic, and even driving onto the pavement itself. You are endangering the lives of our children.

HOLIDAYS

We wish all our families a wonderful holiday, safe journeys and a safe return on 18 April. Don’t Forget… Thursday 30 March 2006 School closes at 12h00 on Break-up Day. Break-up day is also “Civvies Day”!

SCHOOL UNIFORMS

Our sports uniforms can look so smart if worn correctly. Unfortunately, some of the children are not wearing it properly. Once again we ask your assistance in keeping our children smart and proud of their uniforms.

STAFF

Mrs. Marais, Mrs. Tallack and Mrs. Duley are leaving us at the end of the term. We wish them everything of the best in their business ventures. We thank the teachers for their dedication to our children and Mrs. Duley for consistently striving to ensure that we are all on the cutting edge of computer technology. To the six families who will be leaving Bryandale – we wish them happiness in their new schools. Congratulations to Miss. Dale, who will be getting married to Zac Swallow on 25 March. We wish them every happiness and God’s Blessings.

SPECIAL MENTION

Mr. de Beer would like to make special mention of two recent exceptional cricket scores that were achieved by two of our teams against Bryneven!
