Dear Parent/Guardian

Please note that all learners will be writing final Assessments for the end of the year which will
be used to calculate the final Promotion Mark.

Promotion marks will be calculated as follows:

GET Phase (Grade 8-9): SBA: 60%

Final Exam: 40%

FET Phase (Grade 10-11): SBA: 40%

Final Exam: 60%

Please note the importance of the SBA marks, that is a combination of all the tests and tasks
done by learners throughout the year.

The final assessments will begin on the Friday 3rd November 2023. Please study the attached
timetable for all subjects and when they will be written.

All learners will be dismissed at 12h30 every day from 3rd November until the 23rd November
unless they write in the second session. Venues will be posted the day before they write on
parents groups. Learners writing in the second session will be dismissed as soon as they are
done writing. Please make the necessary transport arrangements to avoid having learners
loitering around the area and becoming a nuisance to the neighbours. The expectation is that all
learners should go home and adequately prepare for the next assessment.

It was made very clear in numerous district meetings that ALL Promotion
Requirements are still in place.

No learner will be automatically promoted to the next grade. Learners must meet all the
requirements for promotion. Parents must play a very active role in ensuring that learners study
and prepare well. Learners who did not submit all the SBA tasks cannot be promoted if the
requirements are not met.

A clear scope of all work to be studied will be provided. Parents will receive the breakdowns via
the electronic channels. It will be posted onto Google Classroom for learners. It is vital that
learners study. Parents must ensure this.
Please also note the following arrangements for the Final Assessments:

• Learners must be seated in their venues no later than 07h45 every day. Learners must
arrive at school BEFORE 07h30. There is a tendency amongst the senior learners to arrive
very late. This will not be tolerated.
• Learners must be dressed in full school uniform. No deviations from the Code of Conduct
are allowed. Learners will be expected to rectify all uniform offences BEFORE entering
the venues.
• Should a learner make him/herself guilty of infringing upon any of the Examination Rules,
the parents and learner will have to meet with the School Assessment Irregularity
Committee (SAIC) where a learner’s results may be nullified. Following all the rules is very
important.
• Dates of collection of term 4 reports will be communicated.

Sunward Park staff continue to offer our learners the best possible education. We trust that all
learners will reap the rewards of their own input and efforts.

We thank you for your continued support and wish our learners well in preparing for the final
assessments.

Yours faithfully
