Message from the Head of Primary 

Dear Parents and Guardians

We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support we received from parents and volunteers this past week. Your dedication and enthusiasm have truly made a difference in our school events, particularly the Upper Primary Sports Day and the Grade 5 Camp. The presence of so many parents volunteering throughout the school has created a positive and nurturing environment for our children. Click here to watch a video of the day, enjoy more photographs and see a list of all the medal winners.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to all our staff for their hard work and dedication in making the Upper Primary Sports Day a success. A special mention goes to Mr. Damien and Mr. Yash, whose exceptional efforts and organization were instrumental in the event's success.

We would like to remind everyone that the remaining medals will be handed out to students during Monday's assembly. At the same time, we will also announce the winning house.

Additionally, please be informed that CAR reports will be sent out this weekend, along with the planning schedule for the upcoming week. Please note that the Grade 5 reports will be sent on Monday along with the planning due to Camp this week. 

We are still looking for kind-hearted individuals to adopt our two school dogs, as we are no longer allowed to have them on school premises. If you are interested or know someone who might be, please contact the school office for more information.

Thank you once again for your continuous support and commitment to our school community.

Warm regards,
Hannes van der Westhuysen
Head of Primary
