No report cards will be handed over to learners. This is a great opportunity to meet the teachers and discuss any academic- related problems with them.

f. Gr 9 Information Evening
The Annual grade 9 information evening, will take place on Tuesday, 7 August 2012.This provides the grade 9 learners, as well as the parents, with the opportunity to make choices regarding their subject choices for grade 10-12. This evening also allows parents and learners to gain knowledge and better understand the entrance requirements for the different career fields at a tertiary institution. Many learners choose the incorrect subjects and only realize this at a later stage. It is thus very important that learners, as well as parents, attend this information evening so that they can be guided on the correct career path.
