“Thank You” drive

It is that time of the year again when we encourage our children to take the opportunity to thank the teaching assistants and grounds staff at our school for their hard work and dedication. The “Thank You” drive is a wonderful gesture to demonstrate our appreciation for all that they do for our schools. This year we are asking each learner to bring in R100-00. We will purchase a Pick n Pay voucher for each assistant and grounds staff member. Please could you send the R100-00 with your child to hand in to their class teacher on or before Monday 2nd  December.  Letters have been emailed.
