OPENING DATE AND TIMES FOR TERM 1 2022

All pupils return to school on Tuesday, 18 January 2022.  The Grade 00 pupils have a staggered start.

Pupils will be given a once-off Declaration Form on the first day back which will need to be completed and returned to school to be kept on file.  There will be no Daily Screening Form, but parents need to do the daily screening questions at home before sending pupils to school.  Pupils will still enter the school via the hall door where sanitizing and screening will be done.

Pupils may arrive at school from 07.20 onwards unless they have an early morning activity.

weekly snapshots

The Grade 3s enjoyed a beautiful walk in nature to celebrate the end of a lovely year. We walked from Constantia Nek to Kirstenbosch gardens, enjoying a picnic when they reached their destination. Thank you to Mr Mphumzi Mabuyane for walking with us and to all the parents who lifted the class and those who joined us on our ramble.
