Dear Parents

Welcome back to the 2nd term and the start of winter! We are hoping for an exciting term for our boys even though it will be a slightly disrupted start with a 5-day long weekend next week.

Your son’s industry report should have given you a useful insight into his first term with his marks posted on MyBishopsLife. If you have not already done so, please do discuss these with your son, even if only to say, “well done, keep it up”. At the end of this term the mid-year report will be sent out  which is a detailed summary of his performance over this 6 month semester.

The Grade 7s are looking forward to their 8-night KZN tour in June which is a real highlight of their Prep experience. Friday and Saturday see the start of the winter sports season with the Skeeles Sevens Festivals for our U10 – U13 rugby players.

With next week being only 3 school days, there will be no newsletter.

We wish all our Muslim families Eid Mubarak as they celebrate Eid over the weekend.

Kind regards

GREG BROWN
