Wynberg Girls' Junior School News

Newsletter 13

13th Jul

Dear WGJS Family

Wow - what an amazing 5 weeks we have experienced in our country. One could not help getting swept up in soccer fever through the unity displayed by the flying of flags, cheering and even the sound of vuvuzela's.  It certainly made me proud to be a South African.

Similarly, I feel extremely privileged to have the opportunity to take on the leadership at Wynberg Girls' Junior School. On my first walk through the corridors it was wonderful to see the many exhibits and art works in support of the World Cup on display. This attests to the amazing skills and talents that are being refined at our school.

The history of our school has laid the foundation for excellent achievement: academically, culturally and on the sports field. There are many events planned for this term.  I encourage each parent to be part of their child's education and look forward to meeting you at these functions.   I also wish to encourage each girl to strive for personal excellence and so make you and us proud.

A special "welcome back" all our teachers and a big thank you to our cleaning and maintenance staff for ensuring that the school is clean and tidy for our return.

It was with shock and sadness that we mourn the passing of Mr Ron Condie, husband of Mrs Wendy Condie on 30 June. I am sure that you all join me in offering our deepest sympathies to her and her family.

We also extend our condolences to the Mrs Kassen and Jarita on the death of their husband and father, Mr Rajin Cassen.

May God's presence surround them and our prayers and thoughts comfort them at this sad time.

Safety

It is vital that no girls remain on the school grounds after closing at the end of the school day. Only learners participating in scheduled activities may remain at school. All other girls must be collected within 30 minutes of closing or alternatively attend Aftercare. Should any parent have an emergency whereby they are unable to fetch their daughter timeously, they are requested to contact the school office on that day. No girl may wait for a sibling or lift club unless by pre-arrangement in cases of emergency.

DATES TO REMEMBER:

     July             13               Extra-murals begin

In Conclusion

An education at Wynberg Girls' Junior School is a gift. I trust we will continue to unpack this gift carefully and treat it with the respect our wonderful school deserves. 

Wishing you a great week.
