Circular 18:

Circular 18/2010                                                                                                             25 March 2010

Dear Parent

GATE AT PARKING AREA / RINGING OF THE BELL / LEARNER CONTROL

1.                   GATE AT PARKING AREA

A new electronic gate has been installed at the entrance to the parking area which is used by the staff, as this will provide added security and safety for everyone.

This entrance gate, will therefore, no longer be accessible to learners and parents as a drop off zone.

We kindly request our parents/learners to use the entrance gate at the parking area of the church.

We trust that you will be in agreement with this.

2.                   RINGING OF THE BELL

The first bell rings at 07:30.  This indicates the time for the scholar patrol members to report for duty at Weyers and Van der Byl Avenues.  Durbanville Primary’s school day commences at 07:55, when the bell rings for the learners to line up at the designated areas.  A second bell rings at 07:57, which indicates that the learners should walk to their classrooms.  Parents must please take note of the fact, that it is an electronic clock and the accuracy therefore, may be influenced by the electricity supply.

3.                   LEARNER CONTROL

The WCED stipulates that the presence of learners must be controlled daily.  Thus, our head prefects control the timeous arrival of the learners in the morning, to determine whether there is a pattern by some learners.  After 08:00 the names of late comers will be written down by them, as this conforms with the stipulation of the WCED.

Kind regards
