The staff of Hendrik Louw wishes to express sincere thanks you to all our parents for supporting us the past six months. It has truly been a privilege to work at your school. Best wishes for the three week winter holidays. May all our teachers and learners (and our mothers in particular) enjoy the very welcome break. School re-opens on Monday 20 July at 08:00. Academic reports were given - we ask that you, as a parent, read the codes carefully with your child.  Ons vertrou dat die ouers van ons graad 7-leerders reeds almal aansoek gedoen het vir ‘n hoërskool.

 

Enrolment 2010: We have advised the Education Department as to the FULL school status at Hendrik Louw with exceptions to three of our Afrikaans classes. ENGLISH learner vacancies for 2010 do not exist. This pertains to all the grades. We shall not allow overfull classes, we shall protect existing standards of excellence, we shall teach all the enrolled learners at our school but it is not our duty to provide adequate provision for all who apply. It is the duty of the Education Department to provide and arrange sufficient and adequate space and facilities for all the learners in the Strand / Helderberg.

 

This has probably been one of the most enjoyable (and successful) second terms regarding sport at the school.  Special thanks to several parents who were ‘giants of support’ as coaches this term: Donovan Smart, Gerhard Kirstein, Elise Braasch, Sicily Barnard, Ena Storm, Susan Kirstein, Ina Lopez, Verna Shields, Eunice Kets, Sanette Nel, Jacques Snyman, Diff Kotzé, Annabeth Bock, Anelize Morkel, Charlene Germishuys, Tinus Geldenhuys, L. Rossouw en M. Hamman.

The following office-bearers were elected:

Chairperson:   Herman Bosman

Vice Chairperson:  Elize Braasch

Akademiese Top TWINTIG LEERDERS PER GRAAD

Laerskoolleerders is nog jonk en hul prestasies nog baie wisselvallig.  Ons opvoeders streef daarna om so regverdig as moontlik te assesseer, al verander departementele voorskrifte hieroor voortdurend. Aan die einde van die jaar by ons akademiese prysuitdeling beloon ons ons leerders wat die beste gemiddelde prestasies behaal het in ál vanjaar se assesserings.  (Ons ander 'sterre' kry ook hul beurt om beloon te word by die sport- en kultuurprysuitdelings).

 

Die volgende twintig leerders - in alfabetiese volgorde (LW - nié volgens posisie nie) het in die tweede kwartaal die beste gevaar in hul onderskeie grade - baie geluk!

Gebruik asb u MY SCHOOL-kaart by die volgende besighede – die skool vind werklik baat by hierdie projek : WOOLWORTHS; ENGEN; CLUB TRAVEL;TOYS R US; REGGIES; KALAHARI.NET; WALTONS; SPUR; SUPAQUICK.

 

ALGEMENE SAKE:

 ~ Daar is steeds ouers wat nie die verkeersreëls gehoorsaam wat betref parkering by die skolierpatrollie-oorgange nie.

~ Leerders moet te alle tye die korrekte skooldrag dra, selfs op die koue dae – ons skooluniform maak voorsiening vir baadjies en reënbaadjies – civvie-klere is nie toelaatbaar nie.

~ Volgende kwartaal bied ons weer die SPESERYE-PROJEK aan – bestelvorms is reeds aan u gestuur word via u kind. 

~ Merk asb. u kind/ers se skoolklere en eiendom duidelik. Elke week word heelwat verlore klere/items opgetel:  indien hierdie items nie binne ‘n week afgehaal word nie, “skenk” ons dit aan die Moompi 2de handse klere-projek.

 

We experience high volumes of unnecessary telephone calls to the school e.g. times of school closure, holidays, sport matches, etc.  All these matters are addressed in newsletters and are also available on our website.  Our capacity as regards secretaries at school is being stretched due to illness and us not being able to make additional appointments.  We need our admin staff to spend their time on matters fruitful and not on the telephone. Please assist us in this regard by reading the information we send home – thank you.  Parents with fast internet connections are invited to make use of the free and very handy Google-calender with important school events already filled in and updated daily.  Details are at the bottom of our calendar page on how to add these to your own personal calendar.

Daily sandwiches: We make sandwiches (one bread per day) for the needy learners at school. We are , however, running low on Marmite, peanut butter and margarine.  We would appreciate any  contribution in this regard. Send to reception please.  Thanking you in anticipation.

 

Baie dankie aan STRIKE FORCE vir hul gratis dienste gelewer aan die skool!
STRIKE FORCE SECURITY: Kontak: Wendy Groenewald  0725931212

 

Entrepreneursdag gee leerders geleentheid om hul entrepreneursvaardighede in die veilige skoolomgewing te oefen.  Hulle leer op 'n praktiese manier van koop en verkoop, wins en verlies, aanbod en aanvraag, ensovoorts.  Hierdie kwartaal is dit die Graad 5's se beurt - sommige van hul jong klante wys hier hulle inkopies.  (Kliek op die gallery vir nog foto's).


 

2010: Laerskool HL is 130 jaar oud – ons verjaarsdag-jaar.  Besprekings het reeds begin op beide sport en kulturele vlak met verskeie rolspelers m.b.t. die aanbied van ‘n paar baie spesiale geleenthede/funksies gedurende die skooljaar met ‘n “anderste” kalender.  Send any ideas / suggestions  via  e-mail to hendrikl@mweb.co.za.  Any interesting stories or memories from your HL-years?  Share it with us by completing the form on www.hendriklouw.org.za/memories.html.

 

LEARNER SAFETY:

~ please ensure that your child never comes to school with a pocket knife or any other item that could be termed as sharp / dangerous,

~ please ensure that your child goes home / after care, or other, after the school day or the sport practice has ended.

~ no unattended loitering or playing around on or near school premises as there is no supervision or guarantee of security,

~ ensure that you prepare your child well, as to what your child needs to do in a moment of possible crisis, danger, or when in or near a situation that could be termed as undesirable – give them the skills so that they will be able to make correct and safe decisions.

 

CAMERAS in the school at various strategic points: Parents are hereby informed that at times we place cameras at various points in the school to: monitor safety, record learner movement at busy points and record classroom behaviour if necessary or that of an individual in a classroom. At this stage there are five cameras at school, with a sixth on the way. Mrs Morris, head of discipline, manages these cameras as well as the images recorded. There is a permanent camera covering the busy foyer and financial area.

 

SCHOOL FEES:

As communicated to all parents via newsletters last year October, and again this year in January, we remind you of the small 3% school fee increase (R20 per month) as from the end of June, until the last month (November) this year.  Last year we were one of the few schools not to implement the full increase, as per the parent budget meeting decision, in January, in order to accommodate parents for the first semester and only to allow the balance of the approved increase in mid-year 2009. Thank you for exceptional faithfulness to date and for helping us in  keeping  your school good and healthy. The summarized measures are:

1.       Debit orders: parents have already signed for the R20 increase as from 30 June,

2.       Cash/cheque/internet payers: please remember to increase the amount you pay by R20 re your June payment, and all payments thereafter,

3.       Parents who paid in advance for the year: please forward an amount of R120 (6 months x R20) to the school before the school closes on Friday 26 June.

School fee statements:  Please remain faithful as regards your payments.

‘n Baie groot asseblief aan alle ouers wat  ELEKTRONIESE betalings  in die skool se rekening maak:
Ons benodig ‘n duidelike verwysing: - naam/van van leerder, die graad en vir wat die betaling is – byvoorbeeld:

John Black Oranjerivier

Mary Brown gr 4 skoolgeld

Sarah Oats gr 3 skryfbehoeftes

 

Please note that wooden pillars are being erected in the parking area opposite the clubhouse. This means that fewer cars can be accommodated on the school grounds. Avoid entering at the gate just to collect / drop off your child.  We cannot always close the gate and  the congestion of vehicles on the small asphalt area could test one's patience sorely, affect safety and cause accidents. Late afternoon use by parents supporting a sport team is approved if there is space available. We rely on your co-operation.

Wees bedagsaam en hou by padreëls wanneer u u kind/ers op- en aflaai.  Dis nie altyd nodig om so na as moontlik aan die skool te parkeer nie – leerders kan maar ‘n entjie stap. 

 

Thanks for support in these times – we appreciate.
