Holiday Security

With the school holidays fast approaching, most principals and Safety Committees are probably making plans for Holiday Security Service Providers.

Lawrence Sodladla (lsodladla13@gmail.com) (of Safe Schools) sent me a list of registered service providers.

PROGRESSION AND PROMOTION

PRINCIPLES OF PROGRESSION
The professional judgement of the teacher in terms of the readiness of the learner to progress to the next grade is important in making a progression decision.  A learner who meets some of the progression requirements may be progressed to the next grade on condition that the learner is provided with the relevant support in order to achieve the level of competence in the relevant subject(s).  A progression decision should be made in the best interest of the learner.

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:

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).
