Dear Parents
We anticipate opening the school and welcoming back all our leaners for term three on Monday 26th July. Unless the closure of schools is extended by the President, this will remain in place. Our hope is for productive and valued teaching and learning for the remainder of the year.
Please take careful note of the following
- We will be returning to the shorter school day in term 3 to accommodate the negative social and emotional impact that the pandemic is having on the learners. Lesson for Grade 4 to 12 will end at 13h30. There will be extra lessons fro our Grade 12’s after this time. We will also be introducing a Wednesday counselling program to reach out to our learners and support hem at this time.
- Please consult the School calendar for detailed planning for term three and four – https://mecschool.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/2021YEARPLANNERCALENDAR-updated-20-July.pdf
- Please be reminded that examinations/assessments start soon.
| FRIDAY 20 August | GR 10 -12 EXAMS/PRELIM START |
| FRIDAY 27 August | GR 7-9 EXAMS START |
| THURSDAY 2 September | GR 4-6 EXAMS START |
- VERY IMPORTANT Please be vigilant and do not allow any learners to come to school if they have any flu/Covid symptoms. This puts the entire school and staff at risk.
- Sadly, we have had to decline continued enrolment of a number of leaners whose school fee accounts are in arrears. Please ensure your accounts remain up to date and that any arrangements with the finance office are adhered to.
As always stay safe and be careful.
Warmest regards
Brian Dawson
