STAFF TRAINING!!!

Juliet Jordaan (principal of Pretoria) and Kerry Holbrook (principal of Johannesburg North West) recently  teamed up to give continued training to their wonderful teachers!
They obviously got so caught up in the training that they forgot to take photos!!!

Due to its success there are sure to be many more fanstastic training seminars over the year and this time we'll try our best to remember the camera!!

The principals and teachers are very excited about the upcoming term as the curriculum is dynamic and both teachers and children alike will thoroughly enjoy working through it!
Term 2 culminates in a Parent Watching Day - where parents are invited to watch a cross section of work the children have been doing during the term.
