Welcome Back

Dear Parents and Learners

Welcome back for the start of the Winter Quarter.  Our campus has been a hive of activity throughout the break; we are ready to dazzle you from the very start.  

We are sharing the blog in a new format in order to make it easier to read on mobile devices and to reduce the length by adding header tabs at the top.  Static information like uniform requirements and directories, as well as access to previous blogs can be found by clicking on the headers.  For your convenience we also added the Calendar as a heading.

The purpose of this blog is to provide you with information for the start of the quarter.  Feedback about last quarter and events during the school holiday will be included in the blog to be published on Friday.  Please mail ssteyn@parklands.co.za or secondary@parklands.co.za with any feedback about our learners’ achievements.

From the Secondary Head of Sport

Welcome back for the second half of the Winter Season.  Due to our educators being involved in Parent Educator meetings this week, formal sport practices will only commence on Monday, 15 July 2024.   We will however have Rugby and Girls Hockey this week as we need to prepare for matches this weekend and early next week.

Our Derby Day against Somerset College will take place this quarter and this is where our focus will be.  We will share more information on the Derby weekend once the full programme is confirmed.

CULTURE

We look forward to an exciting Winter Quarter.  Please make sure you have secured your tickets for The Wizard of Oz and watch out for news about other performances over the next 9 weeks.

Wishing everyone a successful and productive Winter Quarter.
