Dear Parents and Guardians
UWC Day
I am sure many of you are as disappointed as we are about the absence of Archbishop Tutu from our UWC celebrations. We are thinking of him as a community and students have already prepared a card wishing him a speedy recovery in hospital which will be sent by courier today.
All parents are welcome to the UWC Day celebrations which will begin at 10. 30 am sharp. Buses will collect students from their normal bus routes from 8 am onwards. We anticipate proceedings to come to a close at around 3 pm.
We would like to encourage parents where possible to use the Qedusizi Primary school at the bottom of the hill for parking. Please try and park as clear as possible off the road if you are parking on the hill. Buses will shuttle parents from the bottom of the hill at 9.30 am if you choose to park at the primary school. Security will be provided in the parking lot.
Regional Entrance Testing for 2014
A number of WK staff will be travelling to the following capitals on Saturday 25th May for student recruitment for 2014. Please do promote this opportunity to family, friends and colleagues if you are based in these countries. Entrance testing and interviews will begin at 9am.
Dar es Salaam – Protea Courtyard Hotel
Gaborone – Gaborone Sun Hotel
Harare – Bronte Hotel
Nairobi – Pan Afric Hotel
End of Term Arrangements
School will officially close on Saturday afternoon. Transport to Johannesburg (6.15 am and 8.15 am), and Mozambique (9 am) will depart on Sunday morning April 28th. Parents are welcome to take their children on Saturday afternoon, provided they have checked out of the hostel.
The hostel will re-open on Sunday afternoon, May 26th and classes will resume on Tuesday May 28th at 8:00am.
This term has been a very busy one in more ways than one and your children need to be commended for their active participation and contribution to all the activities and events we hosted this term. I wish them a happy and restful holiday.
Yours sincerely
Bruce Wells
Acting Principal
