We are in the last week of term and I am
sure that our learners are looking forward to the June holidays. I trust that all
their efforts and hard work this past term will be rewarded with a good report.
Our expectation is that all learners work consistently throughout the term as
this will ensure a good result. Should your child not have lived up to your
expectations, please put in place the necessary support structures to encourage
an improved performance for the remainder of the year. In your meeting with the
class teacher this week, discuss possible ways that you can assist your child
to achieve their best potential going forward.
Mr
Alfred Msondo Retiring
One of our casual support staff workers
will be finishing off with us at the end of this term. We want to thank Alfred
for his contribution to Rondebosch East Primary School over the years that he
has been with us. We wish him well for the future and we trust that Rondebosch
East Primary will always have a special place in his heart.
Please take not of the following:
Parent/
Teacher Conferences
Our parent/ teacher conferences start at
13h00 tomorrow. These meetings are important and every parent is expected to meet with
your child’s class teacher. You have been allocated a ten minute slot.
Please do arrive on time for these meetings so that you can get the benefit of
a full discussion with the teacher. If you have not as yet been allocated a
slot, please confirm this with your child’s teacher in the course of the day
tomorrow.
Extra-mural
Programme
There will be no extra-mural activities this
week. All learners are dismissed at the end of the school day.
Collection
of learners
Parents are reminded to collect your
child/ren from school at the end of the school day. Please remember that you
are responsible for the safety of your child outside of school hours. We have
teachers on duty from 07h45 in the
morning until 14h30 in the
afternoon. Once learners are dismissed from the classroom or their extra-mural
activity, they should be collected immediately since there is no supervision at
this time. Even though we have a security to control access to the school after
hours, he is not responsible for ensuring the safety and discipline of learners
on the school grounds.
From time to time, there are learners
waiting outside the school grounds for parents to collect them at 5pm in the
evening. This is a great concern, because there are many negative elements out
there that may seek to do harm to vulnerable children. I trust that you will
help us in this regard by ensuring that your child is always safely picked up
from school on time. Thank you!

Friday, 24 June 2011. The reports will be discussed with parents at the

school fees and cooperation in this regard.
