IMG Circular from Mr J. Daries

Good Afternoon Colleagues

I trust that the preparations for the final examinations are going well? I wish you all the best, especially our grade 12 learners, as we round off this term. I would like to draw your attention to the following important reminders:

Circular 40/2013 - Textbook & Worbook Shortages

ECD Principal's Meeting

On behalf of all the principals that attended Ruth Leukes' ECD Principal's Meeting yesterday, I wish to say thank you for a very informative session.  Since it came to light that there were still a large number of principals and ECD sites that do not regularly receive the valuable info. she shares with us from time to time, I've decided to dedicate a page on this blog to ECD Matters.  To view this page, simply click on the word: ECD Matters, or scroll down to find the link below Pages.

1000 Hits!

A huge THANK YOU to all principals and officials who took some time from their busy schedules to peruse our newly designed Principals’ Blog during the last +/- three months since inception. 
We have reached 1000 hits in this very short time!  This information is shown on the right of the Blog: below Total Pageviews.  By the time you visit the Blog again, this number would have increased.

I’m sure this is also due to a number of other principals, teachers and officials who might find it useful to frequent our blog. 

You might have noticed a name change (as suggested by Mr Daries).

Getting Control of Your Time

Dear Colleagues

I found this article on Andy's Blog: http://andyjohnsencoaching.com/two-kinds-of-people-in-your-school-getting-control-of-your-time-part-2/#more-955.  I think, although some of what is said clearly applies to the American Education System, most of it is relevant to our situation.

Dear colleagues,  I pray that you are all well, enjoyed the short recess and  that you are "re-charged" to face the challenges that this term presents.
