Principal’s Message
“Your only limitation is how much action you are willing to take”
Dear Parents
Please remember that our Annual Budget/AGM will take place next week on
Wednesday 12 November at 6pm in our hall and we look forward to seeing you
there. The school fees for 2015 will be proposed and voted on so please make every
effort to attend.
The sports programme this term is often disrupted by wet weather and
arrangements have to frequently be changed at the last minute. Please keep an eye
on the D6 as this medium is used to communicate any changes that may have to be
made. Where possible we do use the SMS system as well, but sometimes schools
do cancel fixtures at the last moment due to rain and alternative plans have to be
made. Thank you for your support in this regard.

The term is moving at a blistering pace – I am sure that many of you in the
corporate world also feel this! There is still a great deal to accomplish before the
year ends and we look forward to the week ahead as we take on more exciting
challenges.
Yours sincerely
Neville Green

Thank you
A very big thank you to Brad Irvine for the loan of his
trailer to get the milk bottles to Howick. The next eco –

factory.
Thank you very much to Joyce Green Govender who
helped deliver the milk bottles and who has helped so
much with the eco file that has been submitted to

WESSA. We hope to get our green flag next year. Joyce,
you have been a star. Thank you!
Another big thank you to Mieke van Tienhoven who has
been a real eco- hero and has helped so much with
increasing our awareness on alien invasive plants. Mieke
