Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we are entering the final stretch of this awful year, we know that we have to work just a little bit harder in focusing on getting any job done, Our hearts go out to those who have lost their jobs, their income and to those who have lost loved ones.
This year we can definitely name a few things that were lost due to circumstance, but we have to continue our efforts and keep on working towards a better future especially for our kids. We also have to keep on encouraging our kids to work a little bit differently but remain goal focused on their academics.
December Holiday
The school will close on the 4th of December for the learners, but the staff will remain to finalise the report cards by the 11th December. Currently, the dates for reopening in 2021 is the 25th of January.
Strict rules will apply for all students who return to school, eg the wearing of face masks and social distancing is an essential precaution against possible Covid-19 infections.
Parents should be confident that every effort is being made to ensure the safety of our students and that we follow the guidelines as prescribed by the Department of Education to safeguard against any infections of Covid-19.
Paces
Pace orders are taking longer than usual due to the delayed shipments from America, we will continually plan proactively but with Covid-19 sometimes the wheels does come off, but there will be enough Paces available to work during the holidays.
School Fees
Please keep in mind that your school fees are crucial for us to stay afloat, we are not subsidized by the government therefore we have to rely on one another especially during December. School fees will from January 2021 be back at R3400 per month, the same rate as originally at Jan 2020 with no increase foreseen for in 2021.
Please continue to check your emails, notifications on the d6 School Communicator and our website as we may send updates to you for more information and support. Have an awesome festive season and be safe.
Warm regards,
Dirk Vermeulen
Principal
