       SOCR ATES             changes:

                    SCHOOL CLOSURE

                    The school will close for the winter holidays at 10:00 am this Wednesday,
                    30 June 2021 as indicated by the Minister of Basic Education, Mrs Angie
                    Motshekga. She has further announced that schools will reopen on
                    Monday, 19 July 2021.

                    Please note that we have not received any further updates regarding full
                    capacity return - so far, the latest update was that learners will return to
                    school at full capacity once schools reopen after the holidays, however, we
                    will give parents a final update during the holidays. Note that aftercare will
                    still be available on Wednesday, 30 June 2021 from 10:00 - 17:00.

                    REPORTS

                    Due to the fact that the holidays have been brought forward, and we
                    first need schedule approval from the Department’s District
                    Assessment Team, learner reports will be emailed after the school has
                    reopened. This also applies to virtual parent meetings - these meetings
                    will take place after the school holidays.

Please keep an eye on our communication channels for important announcements.
