OMSENDBRIEF 3/2017 CIRCULAR 3/2017

FROM THE RECTOR’S DESK

Thank you to all Paul Roos parents for your support during this demanding third term.

Die vierde kwartaal begin op Maandag 9 Oktober, Engelse week Dag 1. Ons benodig elke Paul Roos-ouer se ondersteuning om seker te maak dat ons jongmanne netjies

terugkeer op die eerste dag van volgende kwartaal wanneer daar ook ’n netheidinspeksie sal wees; The holiday time is ideal for dry cleaning your blazer and

ensuring that your school uniform is in good condition. Ons maak staat op al ons ouers en seuns se samewerking.

I wish to thank all parents who continue to swipe their “My School Cards” - just another way to keep supporting PRG.

Sportoefeninge sal op die eerste dag reeds begin.

We hope that you will enjoy the short break before the last stretch commences.

Ouers moet asseblief nie dokters- of tandartsafsprake gedurende skooltyd reël nie. Ons is bewus daarvan dat dit soms onvermydelik is en ons sal verstaan in

noodgevalle.

Geen ekstra lesse kan gedurende skooltyd en in die tyd van geskeduleerde sportoefening plaasvind nie. Ons vra dat die skoolprogram deur ons ouers en seuns

gerespekteer word.

Please ensure that your school shoes are polished daily.

We really appeal to parents to assist us in ensuring that the good image of this proud institution remains our top priority.

TOTSIENS & WELKOMOns sê totsiens aan mev. Nadia Röder wie se gesin na Johannesburg verhuis.

Ons verwelkom mnr. Müller wat aangestel is in die Ingenieursgrafika en -ontwerp- pos.
