“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.
