From the Principals desk: Deon Grobler

23 January 2014

I am pleased with the way in which the children have settled into the new school year, and the manner in which they have adapted to the changes within the school. This will be the 2 nd year that the new school uniform and the new curriculum have been operational, and I am pleased to say that judging by the manner in which they are being accepted, I am filled with enthusiasm and pride as Principal of Jeffreys Bay Primary. I have come to expect nothing less from the children, parents and staff, who are exceptionally supportive of all that we do to ensure an excellent standard of education. I thank all stake holders for their positivity and loyalty to our School. Thank you to all the parents who have ensured that their children have been equipped with the necessary stationery and books to begin the year without any delay. This makes it so much easier for the teachers to begin work and prevents the children from falling behind Please remember that parents may not, during the course of the school day, go directly to the classroom in order to deliver anything or simply to chat to the teacher. Parents must report to Mrs van Dyk in the office, who will either call the child or the teacher, or simply accept the goods and ensure that they are delivered to the child. The reason is not only for your childs safety but also to prevent disruption of the class. Thank you for you continuous support and enthusiastic response to all activities and programmes implemented at Jeffreys Bay Primary School.
