‘It’s the FINAL COUNTDOWN…!’ que trumpets and dramatic music. By the time this is printed, our learners will have less than a week left of their final exams of 2017!

By this time next week, they will be free citizens and their teachers, the patient captives of marking, finalizing reports, checking and rechecking everything. Ons wil ons leerders aanmoeding om nie nou tou op te gee nie en vas te byt vir hierdie laaste stukkie van die eksamen.

We also remind learners and parents alike that it is of the utmost importance that all textbooks, readers and library books be returned to the school in a good condition so that we may pass them on to other learners next year.

Ons wil graag ouers aanmoedig om die jaarvergadering by te woon op 21 November, volgende week. Dit is belangrik vir die skool dat ouers betrokke is by hierdie vergaderings waar daar gestem word oor belangrike besluite aangaande die skool en skoolfonds.

At Vryheid High, we believe in a three-pronged approach to producing well-rounded and successful individuals. You, the parents of these individuals, are a key role player and decision maker as part of that process. We would, therefore, like to encourage that all our parents attend our annual AGM on Tuesday.

• 21 November School exam ends
• 21 November AGM 18:00

Daar is ‘n stilte wat oor die skool heers en leerders is hard besig met hul finale eksamens en onderwysers is druk besig om hierdie kennis na te gaan met ‘n rooi pen.

Here at VHS the whole school has boarded the exam train and it is full steam ahead. We are already one week into things and the first marks have started to stream in for capturing.

Die biblioteek is voor skool en pouse vol studente met ‘n sagte gons wat in die atmosfeer hang soos die leerders laaste stukkies werk vir mekaar verduidelik of vir hulself fluister. We would like to encourage the learners to also make use of the library after school as a study venue. The library is usually open until at least 14:00.

Ons matrieks is ook al so te sê halfpad met hulle eindjaareksamen en die terugvoering van ons leerders, is baie positief. Teachers await their matric students eagerly outside the hall to get feedback on papers and there are often sighs of relief, when learners report back with positivity. We are still keeping our matric learners in our thoughts and prayers. Aanhouer, wen soos die skoollied dit beaam.

Ons herinner ouers en leerders om asseblief hulle samewerking te gee met die invorder van handboeke, leesboeke en biblioteek boeke. We would like to remind parents and learners that we are collecting textbooks, reading books and library books and that these should please be returned in a timely manner as per the collection schedule.
