As per our annual calendar, this is the time of the year where
the grade 9 boys have to start thinking about their subject
choices in grade 10. To assist our grade 9 parents and boys in
this process, the school will be inviting you and your son to our
subject choice webinar on the 10th of August. This webinar will
allow the School Management Team and I to talk you through
the whole process of selecting subjects, the levels required to
gain University Exemption, the minimum requirements for
certain subject choices, and will also be able to answer any and
all questions you or your son may have. Please keep an eye on
the D6 Connect App for further details.
Please note that the tuckshop will remain closed next week, but
will re-open on 10 August. An
outdoor food stall, operated by
Apache River Spur will, however,
be operational next week as to
allow the boys to purchase meals.
Revised directives around the
resumption of sport and cultural
activities are expected towards the
latter part of next week. As soon
as we receive these we will
confirm the return to play                                                    P O Box 20079,
