STATIONERY

AFTERNOON ACTIVITIES
There will be no afternoon activities to begin and moving forward, we will keep you informed.
PUNCTUALITY
PLEASE take the time and make the effort to drop off and collect your child within or at the given times. Apart from making everything work more smoothly on the school side, punctuality avoids having your child feeling uncared for and in a sense, alone. Please support the school in instilling a sense of reliability and responsibility in the children. We are aware that there are unusual circumstances from time to time, but punctuality should be the norm.
OBTAINING ADMISSION SLIPS
If you still need to obtain an admission slip, please connect with the bursar’s department. It will be easier to do this before Monday, but should you have to do it next week, please enter at the main security gate (on the high school side), park that side, and walk across to the reception. Please do not park in the drop off cark parks so as to avoid congestion for others.
VERSE FOR THE WEEK
“The Lord is my Light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? …. Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord.” Psalm 27 vs 1 and 14
