De-grendel 5km walk

Thank you to all the families who braved the pouring rain and mud to join us for the 5km sponsored walk at De Grendel. The fantastic amount of R34 000 has been raised towards a playground upgrade. Thank you for all the generous donations. Congratulations to the Grade 2 Class who won the prize of a civvies and pizza day for the class with the highest participation on the day. 

End of year events

Despite the move to level 1 and the easing of restrictions, Micklefield continues to take a cautious approach in terms of hosting of events and intermingling of grades. There are certain annual events that will not go ahead this year including the campouts, Gr 5& 6 Dads and Daughter’s Evening and Carol Service. Please refer to the google calendar on the website for  upcoming term events: https://www.micklefield.co.za/your-micklefield/micklefield-calendar/ 

COVID PROTOCOLS

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 as well the Department of Education.

Please ensure that your daughter has a spare mask in her bag at school.

GALA SWIMMING: GRADE 2, 3 AND 4

Thank you to all the girls who attended the trials.  Gala squad training will be every Tuesday at RGHS pool from 16.30 – 17.30 for those girls who have been selected.  Information letters were sent home with the girls on Thursday.

GALA SWIMMING: GRADE 5, 6 AND 7

There will be no afternoon training for the Grade 5, 6 and 7 girls, perhaps one ‘swim out’ once we know more with regards to galas.  The Grade 5, 6 and 7 girls will only train in the morning, Tuesday and Thursday from 06.45 – 07.30 at Rondebosch Boys’ High School.  These training sessions will start as soon as we have final confirmation from RBHS.
