Please ask friends and family or even business colleagues if they would like to take part. We only have 3 weeks to go to the Start of the World Cup.
We are offering Baby sitting/pyjama party here at school this Friday 4th September, 6pm-11pm for a cost of R100 per child. If you have a family of two children coming then it will cost R150 for the two of them. Please note we can only accept children who are currently at our school. A reply slip will be in your child’s pocket this afternoon. Please fill it in and return it as soon as possible so that we can organise enough supervision.

SCHOOL CLOSING 23RD SEPTEMBER

Due to the vote held over the last few weeks, when an overwhelming majority of parents said yes, we will be closing the school earlier at the end of this term.
The last day of the 3rd Term will be Wednesday 23rd September. We will return to school for the first day of the 4th Term on Monday 12th October.
PLEASE NOTE STAY AND PLAY WILL BE AVALIABLE TO ALL THE CHILDREN OF THE SCHOOL. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU WILL BE USING THIS SERVICE FOR THE EXTRA DAYS OF THE HOLIDAYS SO THAT WE CAN ENSURE THAT THERE IS ENOUGH TEACHERS AND SUPERVISION.

Important

Thank you to those who consciously make an effort to close the gate on entering and leaving the school. We have seen an improvement. Please continue to be aware of the gate at all times and please make sure it is closed.
Also Please do not park in the small road in front of Paul Greyling’s gate, as it blocks their access!!
