Circular 23/2010                                                                                                 4 May 2010

 

Dear Parent

 

EXAMINATION : JUNE 2010

 

As you have already been informed, the duration of the examination will be from Monday 31 May to Tuesday 8 June 2010.  In order to give our learners the opportunity to prepare thoroughly, we hereby provide the work allocation (Annexure A).

 

We would like to bring the following arrangements to your attention:

 

  • All academic work will be completed by Wednesday 26 May 2010.  During the last week before the examination, some module tests may be written, which at the same time serves as revision.

 

  • From Monday 31 May to Tuesday 8 June the school will close at 13:00.  The WCED has given all schools permission to close at 13:00 during the June examination, however, they have stipulated, that the time must be used for study purposes.  Learners are not allowed to wait outside the school for their parents/lift clubs for longer than 15 minutes.  We request you to make alternative arrangements.  The official school hours during the examination will be from 08:00-13:00 and there will therefore no longer be an alternative arrangement for learners to be accommodated at school from 13:00-14:00.

 

  • This rule does not apply to Aftercare learners.  The Aftercare will function as usual and will be open from 13:00 onwards.

 

  • The school closes at 11:00 on Wednesday 9 June 2010.  Reports will be handed out on Thursday 15 July 2010.

 

We appeal to parents/guardians not to take their children out of school before Wednesday 9 June 2010.  A doctor’s certificate MUST be handed in to the class teacher, should a learner be absent during an examination.  According to departmental guidelines, exam papers may not be written at any other time and alternative arrangements will then apply for the final assessment mark.  Examination is a skill which the learners must master and we therefore, encourage all learners to take the matter seriously.  Permission for urgent private matters, will only be granted in exceptional cases and the request must be addressed to the principal in writing. 

 

Place this letter in safe keeping, so that you are able to refer to it to avoid unnecessary telephone calls.

 

Yours faithfully
