We encourage you to stay involved in your child's education and to take
advantage of the many opportunities that we offer for parents to be engaged in
our school community. As a first of these events, I would like to invite parents to
the following parents’ teacher’s information evenings as stipulated below. The
three evenings will be phase specific starting off with an address in the school
hall by the Executive Head as well as the Heads of the individual schools. On the
primary and high school evening we will also be address by Mr Bruce Fordyce
who are familiar to many of you as the legendary comrades winner. He will be
speaking about the exciting new programme and initiatives we will be launching
at the school. There after parents will be invited to meet the respective class
teachers in their classes. This will give an opportunity for the staff to share some
valuable operational matters as well as provide an opportunity to address any
questions parents might have. We will also be using the opportunity to elect and
introduce the new parents representative committee (RPC) as we will be electing
our class representatives on the evening.
