We hope that our Grade 8’s have by now settled into their new school and that they, like the rest of
our school, are looking forward to the winter terms. Next term is our examination term where all
grades will write their mid-year examinations. Parents may access the exam timetable on our
website. Of note is the number of teaching days that our Matrics have until they leave to write their
Finals. The table below indicates that there are just 77 teaching days remaining and that our
Grade 12’s will be wise to start the new term in earnest to prepare for the three major approaching
exams.
We thank our Teachers, Pupils and Parents for their support this term.
