ceed with our new academic wing of 5 new classrooms on the tuckshop side of the school. Within the

building we revamped the bursar’s office, upgraded all the cloakrooms and added 3 more Head of Depart-

ment offices, all during the holidays.

I want to thank all parents for their support by swiping their ‘My School Cards’ - as a result, we received

R8 500 from Makro. Please keep on swiping! Thank you also to all parents who assist us in ensuring that

learners arrive dressed according to the dress regulations of the school. All of us need to take pride in the

Pearson uniform.
