For Attention:

Principals and Teaching Staff at High Schools and

Primary Schools that offer Grades 8 & 9

Subject: Term 4 Activities

We are determined to build on our collective successes. Our aim remains to ‘up our game’, to sustain our excellent results and improve the results of underperforming subjects and schools. Many support strategies have been implemented across the year that will culminate in the writing of the internal and external final examinations in our schools. We trust that the seeds that were planted during the different seasons of the year will deliver a fruitful harvest at the end.

A big thank you to ALL our principals, SMTs, teachers, tutors, venue managers, care takers and learners who ensured that our spring school was a resounding success.

As part of our formal programme of support to schools in the fourth term allow me to share the following information:
