Dear Parents

We look forward to welcoming all the children back to school on Wednesday 2 October and hope they had a good little break. We would like to thank all of our amazing staff who always work throughout the holidays to ensure everything is clean, prepared and ready for the children.

We have a very busy and short quarter ahead and we are looking forward to many exciting events like the ‘Peter Rabbit’ concert and the Grade R Graduation. Thank you to all the parents who joined us for report feedback meetings at the end of last quarter and celebrated their little one’s growth. Please email your child’s class teacher, should you wish to discuss their progress and were unable to attend these meetings. The Spring Quarter extra mural activities have been finalised and will commence on Wednesday, 2 October.

Monthly Cake Sale 

Each grade has the opportunity to contribute to their grade cake sale, and there is much excitement as the children eagerly look forward to their little monthly treat.

We request that items such as cupcakes, popcorn, crisps, muffins, etc. be sent to the class on their allocated cake sale date. We also recommend that your child spend no more than R2 at the cake sale to save some appetite for lunch! You are welcome to send the term’s money in advance (i.e. 3 x R2 coins) or send in the R2 on cake sale days in a sealed envelope/packet. Please ensure that items donated for cake sales do not contain nuts and that no sweets are sent in. We love healthy goodies, especially popcorn!
