Neatness We need the support of

ALL parents to ensure

the neatness of our

learners at ALL times.

On Friday, 1 March

there will be a general

NEATNESS INSPECTION of all learners

including BOOK BAGS.

The major areas of concern at the moment

are: *girls' hair that is not tied up and

hanging in their faces; *length of boys'

hair and boys that are coming to school

unshaved; *learners using earphones to

and from school and *incorrect book

bags being used. We really appeal to

parents to assist us to ensure that the

image of the school remains top priority.
