LIVING VALUE FOR AUGUST: RESPECT
"He who thinks little of you calls you while you are eating." (Ugandan Proverb)
Dear Parents / Caregivers
This proverb really speaks to me about "cellphone etiquette". How often do we show disrespect to others by answering our phones during interpersonal time, during meals, etc. Let's use this month's value to teach our children when / not to use their cellphones.
It was with great shock that I heard about the attack on the Station Commander of the Rosebank Police Station and the death of Lieutenant Colonel Thandi Mkhize. Rosebank Police Station has always served and helped Saxonwold Primary at all times. Our condolences and prayers go the Station at this time.
Language Survey
Thank you to all the parents who completed the survey form. The SGB will now explore all their options with regard to the choice of First Additional Language and a Parents' meeting will be held to report back to you.

Intersen Phase Concert
Due to the demands of our learner assessment for the 3rd term we have had to change the dates for our Concert. The new dates are:19th, 20 and 22 October.
Congratulations to our Junior Chess Team, they won all their matches in the District Tournament and will now represent the District (Johannesburg East) in the Provincial Tournament. Well done to Ms Xaba and her team.
It is with great disappointment that we have to say farewell to another staff member. Mrs Appollis will be returning to the "Corporate World". A big thank you to her for all she has done for our School. Mr Das Ramcharan, a Science and Mathematics specialist, will be joining our staff on the 10 August 2011.
Yours sincerely
