The High Flyer - Forthcoming Events - 18 March 2016

TERM 1 I 18 MARCH 2016
Dear Parents
In an effort to improve communication between the school and yourselves, the Communications and
Marketing Department is in the process of re-designing and, hopefully, improving the school’s various
communication platforms. We are completing an audit of what is being/ has been used, what has and
what hasn’t worked in the past, and what areas are of particular concern.
Please note:
ABSENCE: The parent/guardian must contact/email the relevant Tutor or Grade Head early in the
morning and inform him/her of the student’s absence. It is not incumbent on the pupil to inform the school.
Thank you for your understanding and co-operation in this regard.
CONTACT DETAILS: Should your contact details change/ have changed (email or contact numbers),
please inform the Pencilbox Administrator, Mrs Krisch at [email protected] . This will ensure that
pertinent information is reaching you and our records are up to date.
CONFIDENTIALITY: Parent information is kept strictly confidential. For this reason, we cannot distribute
class/grade lists, email addresses, cell numbers, etc. As a school, we have undertaken to comply with all
privacy legislation and regulations (e.g. the POPI ACT). Each Grade Parent Representative has been
instructed not to entertain requests for information. We are currently working on a system that will not only
protect your privacy, but will also allow you to decide with whom you want to share your contact
information, and exactly how much information you want to share (e.g. email only, or cell phone number
only). This pilot project will be launched in Term 2, so please look out for further details in due course.
WEBSITE: The website will be undergoing a ‘face-lift’ during the April/May holiday, and will be up and
running once again by the beginning of Term 2. For the moment, we ask that you do not refer to outdated
information on the website. Fixtures, newsletters and other information will be emailed to you, or will be
made available through the relevant departments.
WINTER SPORTS CALENDARS: The Sports Department has introduced Google Calendars for the
Winter Sports. Each sport has its own calendar, which will be updated regularly. We urge you to consult
the calendar on a regular basis to keep abreast of all changes.
We do ask for your patience during this transition period, and welcome any queries, comments and
suggestions, which may be addressed to: [email protected].
We wish you well over the break and wish the families that celebrate Easter a blessed time.
Regards,
Melissa Lai
Director of Marketing and Communications
Please note that
Term 2 starts on
4 May 2016 and not 3

stated. The first day
will be DAY 1 of the
cycle.

be at school, attending
Professional
Development sessions.
We apologise for any
inconvenience this may
cause.

Help us build our children’s character, educate
them about sustainability and develop a sense of
community spirit.
This is an appeal to all Redhill families to spare
some of their holiday break to sort through their
wardrobes for clothing that they no longer use. We
would really appreciate any items of clothing – if
slightly damaged, the clothes are sent to a sorting
facility where they are cleaned and mended.
Please remember to drop off you pre-loved clothing
at the collection bins situated at both the Summit and
Nursery School entrances.
Remember to complete the form to stand a chance
of winning various prizes.
For further information, please contact Mr Vilakazi,
Director of Community Engagement, on
[email protected] or visit www.c2cx.co.za.
