FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESKFoundation Phase Jubilee outdoor concertParents do not miss the Foundation Phase Jubilee outdoor concert to be held on Thursday 31 May. This event will be a spectacular show for one night only. Tickets are available at the cashier office.

Encourage one anotherWhen children write their exams, parents experience the same learning process, to live through every summary, every diagram, every spoonful of vitamin and every ‘please wake us at five’ request, and parents survive through it. During that time, one should realise the importance of encouraging the human spirit. Sometimes it’s more important than oxygen or even a slice of bread.

The right word at the right time has a powerful effect. Encourage the tired young brain and body that is repeatedly encouraged to sit down again at the desk littered with books. Words are the most powerful weapons we possess.
