Thank you to everyone who has already sent in their Jars of Hope. Please continue to send them to school, the deadline is Friday, 20 August. The girls can place them on the table in the foyer.
A portion of our donations will be sent to The Western Cape Association for Persons with Disabilities’, who are currently doing a soup drive. The balance will be distributed by Outliers to community kitchens that supply lunches for school children in Nyanga organised by Outliers. The community kitchens supply lunches for school children in Nyanga. Each child will receive a jar to take home to their families. Thank you for your support
We are acutely aware that the W-Cape is at the height of its third wave and we would like to encourage you to limit all social gatherings for the next couple of weeks to limit the transmission. Please be assured that we are following all protocols to the very best of our ability. Please support us in reminding your girls that masks must be worn correctly at all times, even when off the campus at sport and extra-murals.
Please notify your class teacher, Jeannette Welgemoed and Sandi Blackbeard immediately if your daughter or any member of your family contracts Covid or comes into contact with a positive person. Please supply as much information as possible so as to help with tracking and tracing and in order to be able to inform the rest of the class appropriately.
Please ensure that your daughter has a spare mask in her school bag every day as we seem to have a constant stream of girls needing replacement masks. This is becoming a costly affair and we would appreciate your support.
Thank you to Dr Claudia Gray for the following reminders:

A friendly reminder to all parents, to please ensure that they have updated the school banking details on their beneficiary payments to the new FNB bank account, as we are still getting a number of parents paying into the old ABSA account. The ABSA bank account will be closed shortly.

Click here for the Term 3 Sport & Extra-Mural Timetable. Please note the times and venues.
Although the new Government Gazette has stated that all non-contact and contact sport as well as choirs can resume with immediate effect, we are erring on the side of caution as we are in the height of this Covid wave.
We will continue with sport practices and include match play in these practices so as to be ready for when we play against other schools, towards the end of August. Choir practices will resume on Monday, 23 August.
Since the start of the term the attendance at hockey and netball practices has been disappointing with some girls being off for genuine injuries or Covid related issues, but many of the girls have not attended due to minor injuries and some who have just not attended without even an excuse. With a long absence of match play due to restrictions, our girls need to work hard to get fit for the upcoming season. Sadly, not all of them are showing commitment to their team and the sport. This applies to cross country training on a Wednesday as well. We need to get match ready quickly, otherwise our participation against other schools will be sorely affected. Please support us in ‘toughening’ up the girls, getting them to push through and be true team players.
“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” Grade 4 Drama characters: Veruka Salt, Violet Beaudegarde, Mrs Gloop, and Mr Wonka.
In Grade 0 it was letter “p” week. We constructed interesting creations with popcorn and picks on pizza plates.
The artists from “Bit by Bit Mosaics” have started the mosaic installation in the Media Centre. There is great excitement amongst the girls to see the project unfolding in front of their eyes!
