Dear Wendywood High Parent/Guardian/Caregiver

“Magno Animo - Greatness of Spirit”
Newsletter 2015/JAN_V1
Dear Wendywood High Parent/Guardian/Caregiver
We extend a warm welcome to all the parents/guardians/caregivers and learners for the academic school year.
This year “failure is not an option”. We believe that all learners can learn, and we will continue to create an
environment that results in high levels of performance in all areas of school life. We cannot achieve this on
our own, hence a need for partnership with you.
Please read and take note of the following:
New teachers
A warm welcome to Mrs Simelane (Life Sciences/NS), Ms Nyota (LO), Ms Se Pillay (LO), Ms Tipedze
(Maths), Mrs Zitha (HOD – Accounting/Bus Studies/EMS) and Mr N Naidoo (English). We hope they enjoy
being part of Wendywood High School.
Important Dates to Diarise
School fees
School fees for 2015 are R19 450. Parents who pay the fees in full before 31 January will receive a 10%
discount. Parents may pay R1 945 per month for 10 months. We are a fee paying school and as such, school
fees are necessary for the smooth running of the school. We request that parents prioritise school fees every
month.
Cell phones and other electronic devices
These may not be brought to school. It is in contravention of the Code of Conduct of our school. All confiscated
cell phones and electronic devices will be returned only to the parents at the end of the year on payment of a
R100 fine.
School uniform /Hairstyles
Please note that hard-collar shirts are NOT allowed. Blazer is COMPULSORY. Boys may NOT have wax or
gel on their hair and hair should be the same length, in the shape of the head.

All learners are expected to do at least one sport or cultural activity per term. The sports calendar for Term 1
is available on the school’s website.
Academic Support Programme (ASP)
We urge parents to make transport arrangements that will allow learners to attend ASP.
Textbooks and Stationery
By now, ALL learners should have paid for the textbooks. Parents who have not yet paid must do it as soon as
possible. The money can be deposited into the school's account and proof of payment sent with the learner in
order for text books to be given to the learners. Textbooks and other stationery may be bought from Book
Bound, Juta, and PNA and online at Kalahari.com.
Late coming and Absenteeism
Doctor's and any other appointments should be made for afternoons or weekends, if possible. When absent,
learners MUST bring a doctor's note.
I trust we will have a successful year.
Sincerely
Miss ZP Mchunu
Acting Principal
