1 PEARSON NEWS / PEARSON-NUUS HOËRSKOOL PEARSON HIGH SCHOOL ISSUE/UITGAWE: 6/ 2015 FROM THE PRINCIPAL/VAN DIE SKOOLHOOF At the beginning of this term we welcomed Mr Ryan Peter to the Pearson Staff. Mr Peter will be teaching Life Sciences and Life Orientation. We wish him a happy stay at Pearson. Important / Belangrik We have four ways of communicating with parents: * SMS * * CALENDAR * COMMUNICATOR PLEASE consult these regularly so that you are kept in the loop. Normally reminders are sent via SMS. The FLYER on the Communicator is a record of what happened in the last two weeks and what is on in the next two weeks. The CALENDAR also highlights all the events at school from day to day. Please consult the COMMUNICATOR so as to keep up to date with all school matters, e.g. fixture dates and times for all sports matches. Remember that the parents, teachers and learners form a partnership in the holistic education of the learner. Change in dates / Datumveraderings All parents are asked to note a change in the following dates: Photographic Arts Annual Exhibition Open Evening will move from Wednesday, 20 May to Thursday, 21 May and the Bands' 'Night of the Proms' Concert will move from 8 May to Friday, 22 May to coincide with the Pearson Reunion weekend. The Night of the Proms is a wonderful opportunity to witness the school's musical talent. Dit is beslis nie net vir die ouers van die orkeslede nie. Ons het al ons ouers se ondersteuning nodig. Thank you / Dankie Thanks to all parents who travelled with touring sides during the holidays and also to those who travelled to Oudtshoorn last weekend.
