Dear Parents
A fun filled term lies ahead for both our learners and parents after a restful winter break. The Term Calendar was posted this morning on the D6 and ClassDojo. Please diarise the upcoming events. We have a pretty even academic and sporting spread of events as we look forward to seeing all our wonderful children come back on Tuesday, 9 July 2024.
Staffing
We say “Welcome back” to Miss Poole, our Grade 4 educator who will once again take over Grade 4PE after her accouchement leave. Thank you to Mr P. Ndlovu who served as Grade 4PE’s class educator for the last 4 months.
Applications for Admissions 2025:
Admission for Grades 1 to 7 is still open. We have been instructed by the Department of Education to declare admissions as open until 31 August 2024. The DBE will declare nationally when admissions are closed. The public is therefore, still allowed to apply. Anyone who applies thereafter will not be considered for a place at Morningside Primary.
Extra-Curricular Activities:
The Extra Mural Timetable had been posted on Sunday morning, 7 July 2024. The timetable will begin on 15 July 2024. Please ensure that children join in on at least one extra mural for this term. Extra mural activities “attendance” for each learner will appear on Foundation Phase reports termly and on Grades 4 to 7 reports at the end of the year.
