Dear Parents and Guardians,

We have so much to be thankful for. This term is a short one, but we have already managed to fit so much

into 7 weeks: 5 prize-givings, exams, 3 services (including the Valedictory Mass, and two more masses to

follow), many sports fixtures, the Grade 6 and Grade 11 Leadership camps, a number of parent evenings, First

communion, Confirmation, Remembrance Day, the Grade 7 Farewell and a Pre-Primary sleepover.

We look forward to the Carols by Candlelight event on Wednesday, 29 November at 18h00. Please bring the

whole family to support the little ones. Children 10 years and younger may enter free.

I would like to thank everyone who has contributed towards Dineo Molgate's charity initiative, 'Care for my

peers'. Your donations will make a very big difference in the lives of the recipients. If you are in the position to

do so, you are most welcome to continue dropping off sanitary towels at Mrs Francis’ office (Admin building).

Every year our Matrics donate their school shoes to students elsewhere who need them, once they have

written their final exam paper. It has become a lovely St Patrick's tradition. Thank you for continuing this heart-

warming practice, Class of 2017.

The text book and stationery orders for next year close on 1 December 2017. Please note that any orders

submitted at this stage, will not arrive in time for the 1st day of school, but it will be processed. If your order has

not been submitted, please do so as soon as possible.

The Finance Office is open for payment of fees and general finance queries every

Monday to Friday from 07h15 to 15h30.

Enjoy your weekend.

Yours sincerely,

Jacques Tredoux
