Dear Parents/Guardians

TERM 4: WELCOME BACK


We are sure you have had a wonderful break and your children are excited for the start of Term 4. We would
like to extend our thanks and appreciation to the administration staff who have managed the school over the
break and we are looking forward to welcoming the learners back to school on Tuesday, 8 October.

Term 4 can be a stressful time for many children and their families as examinations start very early into the
term. It’s a short term, and the pressure for learners and teachers to complete the curriculum and to do
thorough revision makes it a busy term. We invite you, as parents and guardians, to join with us as we support
the young lives in our care to help build healthy routines into their lives: eat well, exercise well and sleep well.

“Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.”
― Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the US House of Representatives
