Johannes Smit, the Grade 3 learner involved in the motor car accident in March, is now recovering at home. Our very best wishes and prayers to the family with the recovery process.

The little two year old brother of Zanel Herrewyn, Adrian, sadly passed away on Sunday morning. Our sincere condolences to this family during this very difficult and challenging time.

A VERY big welcome back to the second semester of the school year – ALL our Hendrik Louw families and staff. May you continue enjoying blessings as we strive to ensure the best learning and opportunity experiences for our learners in the last five months of the year. The FIFA World Cup was a resounding success for South Africa and with this foundation of pride and joy we approach the final stages of 2010. Hopefully the ‘long’ holidays sees us all fresh and ready to work.

Op Maandagaand 20 September om 19:00 sal die Beheerraad die 2011-skoolbegroting en die nuwe skoolstruktuur aan ouers voorlê vir goedkeuring. Dit sal in die personeelkamer plaasvind. ‘n Skriftelike opsomming van die begroting met verduidelikende notas sal aan al ons Graad R tot 6-ouers gegee word die vorige week. Enige ouer is welkom om die vergadering by te woon. Indien ouers enige vrae het, is u welkom om dit vooraf aan die skool te e-pos of te faks sodat ons daaraan aandag kan skenk.

Die uitbreiding- en verbeteringsprojek by die skool:

Binne die volgende paar weke behoort ons te weet watter interessante veranderinge hier by die skool vir ons voorlê wat betref nuwe klaskamers, die opgradering van al ons kleedkamers en ‘n nuwe administrasie fasiliteit (gefinansier deur die Onderwysdepartement). Ons is ook feitlik klaar met die beplanning van die fasiliteite waarvan u reeds in die eerste kwartaal kennis geneem het m.b.t. nasorg van sekere grade, huiswerkklasse, etes by die skool, voorskoolse sorg en ander goeie nuus. Hierdie projekte sal grootliks bydra dat Hendrik Louw die 1ste keuse laerskool in die Helderberg sal wees aangesien die pakket wat ons gaan aanbied geskik is vir die moderne werkende gesin.

We are without doubt the school in the Helderberg with the lowest staff turnover and this has been one of the reasons for the excellent school name and strong growth at HLPS. Experience, stability, a healthy and positive morale, and a willingness to serve is not found in excess in the modern workplace nowadays. We do, however, foresee staff changes in the next few years due to retirement, new challenges, promotions, etc.

REVUE 2011

Hier kom die hoogtepunt van die skooljaar! Elke 3 of 4 jaar bied ons ‘n heelskool vertoning aan wat baie gou uitverkoop. Op14, 15 en 16 September begin ons om 19:00 met hierdie groot aand van musiek en dans deur die leerders van Hendrik Louw. Kaartjies is beperk tot 1500 vir die drie aande en word verkoop vanaf Vrydagoggend 20 Augustus. Ons weet dit gaan te min wees, so asseblief, koop vroegtydig. Daar is bespreekte plekke teen R40 p.p. en onbespreekte plekke teen R25p.p.

The annual BENBEL interschools here at Hendrik Louw was, once again, exciting and a testimony to good competition.

aCADEMIC NEWS

Earlier this year Mr Donald Grant, the provincial Minister of Education, hosted a very special awards’ evening. Out of the 1018 primary schools in the province only 36 schools were invited and received academic acknowledgement. Hendrik Louw, your school, was one of these schools! We received the award as the school that showed considerable progress in our district regarding the national numeracy tests (mathematics) written by grade 6 learners in 2009. This is a very big honour. We congratulate our grade 6 teachers and all our 2009 grade 6 learners who participated in these national tests. You as parents can indeed be proud of this achievement. Spread this 5 star news to your neighbours and friends!

Mark Doyle was invited to represent team Cape Town at the International Maths competition in Korea in 24-31 July 2010, where he received a merit certificate. Mark’s achievement reinforces our commitment to furthering mathematical excellence here at HLPS. Well done, Mark!

ATKV redenaars:

Die volgende leerders het deelgeneem aan die semi-finale rondte verlede naweek en baie goed gevaar: Caira Lombard; Rohanette J van Vuuren; Chris Langeveldt; Rozalie J van Vuuren; Ansoné Lombard & Roné Roux. Spesiale vermelding en gelukwense aan Chris Langeveldt (gr 3) met sy uitstekende dubbele prestasie. Hy is die 1ste HL-leerder ooit wat deurgedring het tot die finale rondte en sal op 20 Augustus in pretoria (Buffelspoort) gaan deelneem.

Best wishes to our senior learners ( our Grade 7’s) and their parents as you plan and prepare to exit the primary school phase of your lives. It is important that all our grade 7’s have already enrolled at a high school. If you have failed to do so, please diarize to attend to this matter this week. We always entertain our seniors with some special end-of-year events and shall advise you in due course. Please ensure that your daily school work remains of a high standard. Never lessen your commitment here. All our grade 7 families are invited to come along to the Waterstone Spur on Wedenesday evening 28 July for something to eat. A % of the evening’s takings will be donated by the Spur to the grade 7 fund which is used to fund some of their farewell activities.

INSKRYWINGS 2011:

Ons het aan die Departement van Onderwys aangedui dat ons bereid is om nog leerders te akkommodeer indien hulle die nodige fondse verskaf sodat addisionele geboue opgerig kan word – ons wag vir hul antwoord.

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.

ATHLETICS: Congratulations to the following learners who obtained their WP colours:
Ansoné Lombard (800m); Amy Johannes (Long jump); Chadé Levendal (80m & 200m Hurdles) and Ghite Nel (75m & 150m hurdles).
These are very special achievements. – Best of luck!
KRIEKET: Die volgende vier leerders is gekies vir die O/11-Herderbergspan:
Christopher Bodenstein; Franco Greffrath; Jòvan Snyman & Ross Lubbe. Baie geluk!!

KLEREWINKELTYE:

Somerkwartale:

Maandae en Dinsdae vanaf 07:15 – 08:00 en op Woensdae 12:15 - 13:30 (winter).

Winterkwartale:

Maandae en Dinsdae vanaf 07:45 – 08:30 en op Woensdae 12:45 - 14:00 (winter).

Neem kennis: Slegs kontantbetalings.

Die kontantkantoor by die skool waar ouers skoolgeld, skryfbehoeftegeld en ander betaal, is slegs oop Maandag tot Vrydag – 07:10 tot 13:00 .
Betalings wat daarna gemaak moet word, sal deur Ontvangs (Marina de Milander) hanteer word.

Ouers is welkom om internetbetalings te maak – gebruik altyd u kind se naam/van as verwysing – dis baie belangrik!

Indien u nodig het om ‘n opvoeder / senior personeellid te kontak of te kom sien, maak asb. ‘n afspraak via die sekretaresses en ons sal u so gou as moontlik akkommodeer, omdat ouer-opvoeder-skoolkommunikasie en goeie verhoudings baie belangrik is en ons dit hoog op prys stel. GEEN onbeplande besoeke aan die klasopvoeder of na die klaskamer van u kind nie: ouers en besoekers moet eers by ontvangs aanmeld.

Ouer-kommunikasie: Twee van die besigste kantore in die skool is die SPORT - en KULTUUR KANTOOR wat betref telefoonoproepe, ouernavrae en ander.

Ons versoek dat alle navrae i.v.m. Sport (uitbr. 5) en Kultuur (uitbr. 6) gedurende hierdie tye gemaak word, nie vroeër of later nie.

1ste & 4de Kwartaal: 10:20 – 12:20 (tussen die twee pouses)

2de & 3de Kwartaal: 10:50 – 12:50 (tussen die twee pouses)

Indien daar rede is om vroeër te skakel – siekte of ander nood, sal Marina (uitbr. 3)/ Emmie (uitbr. 1) by ontvangs u oproep neem en kontak maak met die betrokke opvoeder.

Die besluit om ‘n oefening / wedstryd te kanselleer a.g.v. reën of slegte weer, word om 11:30 vir die 0/7’s en 0/8’s geneem en om 12:30 vir die 0/9’s tot 0/13’s.

Moet asb. nie vroeër skakel nie omdat ons so lank as moontlik wag om te besluit, want ons wil nie graag oefeninge of wedstryde kanselleer nie.

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.

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

~ 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.

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.

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.

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.

SKOOLFOOIE:

Neem asb. die korrekte besluit in die beste belang van u kind en betaal u skoolgeld getrou soos versoek. Ons benodig u geld om die skool te bestuur om die huidige standaard van uitnemendheid, wat ons almal geniet, te handhaaf. Dit is nie goed om ‘n leerder by die skool te hê wat nie toegang tot middele, netheid, goeie personeel, goeie infrastruktuur, ‘n gesonde leeromgewing, veiligheid, ens. het nie. Help ons asb. om bogenoemde te kan behou vir u kind deur getrou u skoolgeldrekening te betaal. Ons sê BAIE DANKIE vir u samewerking - wees verseker van ons beste om u geld goed te bestuur.

‘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

Thanks for support in these times – we appreciate.
