Edition 1: January 2013________________________________________________________________
Dear Parents,
We are very excited about our theme for 2013: Gifted for
Greatness.
Our school, our learners, our parents and our staff each have
a special gift. We know that if each one of us uses our gift to
the benefit of others, the environment and the school, we will
indeed create greatness!
The Grade 8s have settled in well. They made us proud with
their Grade 8 Concert. All Grade 8 parents must please try to
attend the Grade 8 Tea and Picnic on 26 January at 09:30.
Your daughter needs you here on Saturday!
We are looking forward to our Inter-House Athletics Meeting
on 1 February. School closes at 11:00. The athletics meeting
starts at 12:00 and will finish at about 18:00. We need our
parents to support the girls in their quest for Inter-House
Athletics glory! Please arrive early to enjoy the afternoon with
us.
There is a compulsory home weekend after the athletics. All
girls must go home. There is no bus transport on Friday; only
for the return on Sunday.
