Education Law for School Managers

On Saturday 8 February a number of principals and deputies of Circuit Two attended the Aspects of Education Law for School Principals workshop.  This workshop was arranged by Mr Daries (IMG).  Mr Jimmy Slingers presented the workshop with his usual flair and expertise.  Judging by the comments from principals on the day, as well as at the Principals' Meeting held on 13 February at the Zonnebloem Estate, it was well received and much appreciated.  In fact those who couldn't attend, requested a second workshop, which should ideally include other SMT members.

Here are some photos (which were taken by Mr Slingers himself):

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.
