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.

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.

SLIPPER DAY AND TAKKIE TAX DAY DRIVES A huge thank you to all learners who had fun and supported our Slipper Day drive and footwear collection. We loved all the interesting slippers everyone had to show off. The trailer load full of footwear went to a deserving community who were most thankful for the donation. As you may have heard on the radio, next week Friday 26 May, is Takkie Tax Day and once again, we will support this drive and allow our learners to wear their funky takkies to school for a minimum donation of R5.00 Learners may donate any old towels or blankets that we can take to the SPCA or to Friends of Rescued Animals FORA. Thanking everyone for showing how warm their hearts are this Winter. Mrs J Schlebusch

TERM THEME : DILIGENCE Alertness. Diligent students are alert. The word alert comes from the French phrase à l’erte, meaning “on the watch.” Diligent people pay close attention to what they are doing. They notice when something is wrong and they try to fix it. Students show diligence by being alert in class when the professor is teaching. Cautiousness. Diligent students are careful and cautious in their actions. They are patient and consider the outcome of their actions. They try to do work correctly the first time rather than being careless and needing to redo a project. A student displays diligence when he makes certain that he understands a project before starting it. Creativity. Diligent students may become innovative when they encounter a problem. They seek a creative solution so they can complete the task. Students show diligence when they creatively arrange their schedules so that they can complete their school work, do their home chores, and participate in extra-curricular activities such as music. Persistence. Diligent students are persistent; they continue steadfastly when a challenge becomes difficult. A student shows diligence when she finishes a homework assignment, even if it takes longer and is harder than expected. Thoroughness. Diligence shows when a student is thorough in completing a task. A diligent student gives careful attention to detail and is meticulous in completing each aspect of the task with excellence. Students show diligence when they complete and also review their homework before giving it to the teacher.

“Few things are impossible to diligence and skill….Great works are performed, not by strength,

but perseverance.” - Samuel Johnson
