Dear Grade 7 parent
With the seemingly precarious position the postponement of the Media briefing of the Minister of Education, Honourable Angie Motshega, has brought upon schools, the SGB has decided to wait for the directive from the honourable minister tomorrow before we allow learners to return to school.
The SGB have therefore decided that we wait on the briefing tomorrow and take a stance thenceforth.
Our primary objective as a body is the safety of our learners as this forms part of governance.
The contradictory views of the WCED and the National Department of Education clearly show that political intervention is at work and we as a school should try to shy away from finding ourselves in the middle and compromising our learners.
Kindest regards
NB Memela (SGB Chairperson)
