NEW DESKS HAVE ARRIVED
There was a lot of excitement in the Grade 3 classrooms this week as they received their new desks and chair backs! A big thank you must go out to Ms Nikolova, mother of Gabriella Tucheva who made all the chair bags for us. As you can see from the picture below the classes look completely revamped!
































NITS & LICE STRIKE AGAIN
Regrettably head lice and nits have invaded us again. It is Departmental Policy, as well as School Policy that children who are found to have hair lice and / or nits are required to go home immediately, only returning to school when they are clear. This usually takes about 2-3 days. I know that this is often extremely inconvenient, but as lice / nits is so very easily spread, we have to insist that this be strictly adhered to. Please check your child's head! We are aware that this is a problem not unique to our school – many schools in the Western Cape are struggling. Please help us – we ask that every child’s head be checked TODAY. It is also essential that older or younger siblings who are not at our school be checked regularly. We are determined to gain control of this situation, but can only do so with your support and co-operation.
