ADMISSIONS 2018 INFORMATION REGARDING APPLICATIONS FOR ADMISSION TO THE 2018 SCHOOL YEAR The applications process for new enrolments to the 2018 school year, will take place as follows: Gr 1 applications are to be made ONLINE, from 02 May to 12 June 2017. If assistance is required, kindly visit the Johannesburg West District Office, ABSA Building, Goldman Street, Florida. Gr 2 – Gr 7 applications are to be made at the School Office, 08:00-13:00 every school day, from 03 May to 13 June 2017. The admissions process, however, continues up to 20 October 2017 (Gr 1) and 23 October 2017 (Gr 2 – 7). Please note that having a child already attending CKPS, DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY GUARANTEE ADMISSION OF A SIBLING (BROTHER OR SISTER), neither does the fact that you “live/work around the corner from the school”. You are hereby advised to make application as soon as possible, on or after the opening date, to avoid disappointment and unnecessary frustration. The Principal and/or the admissions staff will not be held responsible for prospective Parents’ procrastination (which may result in the non-placement of a learner) in the admissions process. Applications are to be made by the parent/legal guardian in person (in the case of a “legal guardian” LEGAL proof is required). When all the required documents are received, applicants will be placed on the relevant waiting list. Enquiries regarding acceptance/non-acceptance may be made as per dates given upon submission of application.

ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS LEFT AT HOME

We have noticed an increasing number of parents calling on the school office to deliver clothing, lunches, messages, projects etc. Parents are encouraged to teach their children responsibility in ensuring that children leave home in the morning with ALL their requirements for the day.

Contact Details Kindly ensure that the office is aware of any changes in contact details. If a child is ill or injured we need to get hold of you urgently, and we rely on the information that you have supplied. LEARNERS COLLECTED FROM SCHOOL DURING SCHOOL HOURS The incidence of parents collecting learners from school early, especially on Fridays, has reached frightening proportions. We, therefore, wish to inform parents that we will no longer allow learners to leave school early for any reason other than proven family emergencies. In the case of doctors’ appointments that cannot be made after school hours, proof of such appointments indicating reasons for it being made during school hours, together with a letter from the parent/s requesting permission to take the learner, should be submitted for approval at least a week in advance. It serves to be noted that work missed out as a result of such absenteeism is impossible to catch up and places the learner and the educators under unnecessary strain.
