Caitlyn Andrews, Jodi-Ann Marney and Lilita Dyala (Mr Calitz's register class, 10R) are writing Mathematical Literacy today. Jodi-Ann says Maths with Mrs Bean is interesting and that she wants to study law. She believes that hard work, determination, commitment, determination and dedication always pays off. Caitlyn says that they learn about everyday problems people face in Maths Lit such as calculating water tariffs and electricity bills. Caitlyn says Mrs Bean is a caring teacher who knows how to make things easy to understand and more interesting that it actually is. Lilita wants to study law and likes that they learn how to work with electricity and water bills because it will help "when we are old".

Simbulele Gosani, Saeedah Sirkhotte and Lesedi Adams prepare for their Maths Exam. Simbulele says that, although Maths is stereotyped as a difficult subject, it is a fun subject. Mrs Elie is her maths teacher and she makes each lesson fun and memorable. Simbulele wants to study LLB (Labour Law). She sees maths as an extreme thinking game. Saeeda's teacher is Mrs Stevens who makes the lessons enjoyable. Lesedi says it takes a lot of time and practice to perfect mathematics and that it teaches you to not give up without trying.

Discipline 

An Appeal to our Parents

As you are the primary educator of your child, we are very conscious of your interest in the development and well-being of your daughter in the Riebeek environment.   We trust that you will  support us in our continuous effort to strive for academic excellence in a disciplined and respectful environment, in which your daughter can only learn, grow and develop to her full potential.

 

The following is an extract from the South African Schools Act 84 of 1996:

“6.1    The ultimate responsibility for learners’ behaviour rests with their parents or  guardians.   It is expected that parents will

(a)         support the school, and require learners to observe all school rules and regulations and accept responsibility for any misbehaviour on their part;  and

(b)        take an active interest in their children’s schoolwork and make it possible for the children to complete assigned homework”

 

In the South African Schools Act 84 of 1996 in Chapter 2 it also states:

“(4)    Nothing contained in this Act exempts a learner from the obligation to comply with the code of conduct of the school attended by such learner.”

 

DISCIPLINE PROCEDURE:

  • Demerits are given for many varied offences in the following 3 categories clearly explained in the Code of Conduct:

 

    1. Academic Offence
    2. Behaviour
    3. Uniform and Appearance

 

  • They are weighted according to the level of infringement
  • After an accumulation of 5 demerits, the learner will have DT.   (Parents will receive notification of this DT)
  • DT will be held on FRIDAY afternoons from 14:00 to 16:00 in a venue to be announced.   Teachers will do duty.
  • If a learner has been in DT on 3 occasions, the 4th time will be Principal’s Detention. (This day will be determined by the Principal.   It is often held on breaking up day.)
  • If your daughter qualifies for Principal’s Detention, she will have her demerit record from the Grade Head given to her with the notification letter.   These reply slips MUST be signed by a parent or guardian and returned to the school.
  • All demerits are recorded.
  • After attending 3 Principal’s Detentions, a Disciplinary Hearing will be arranged.   This panel will consist of the Principal, Deputy Principal, Heads of Department, a Governing Body Member, the Learner’s parents and the learner.
  • PUNCTUALITY:  Learners who arrive late on more than five occasions in one month will qualify for a detention.   This will also be recorded on the computer system.

  To all the “Demerit Free” learners – we thank you for your continual good, mature and responsible behaviour and attitude to your work and school.   We thank you for your diligence and dedication.   You make such a difference in our school.

 Our 2013 theme for the year is, “THE ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE”.   Gratitude is a basic human emotion that is expressed in some or other way by all ancient and modern cultures.   New research shows that PRACTISING gratitude may be the fastest single pathway to happiness, health, long life and prosperity.   People who take the time to notice and appreciate the good things that come their way through grace, or luck, or the goodness of others are happier and more peaceful.   This is my wish for all of us at Riebeek this year – to practise being grateful every day!

 

 

We are truly committed to uphold the values and traditions of our school and to instill a sense of pride in the Riebeek colours and our motto “Ora et Labora”.(Pray and Work)   This is only possible with the interest, love and support of all our learners, staff and parents!   We need your help and encouragement, always!

 

Yours in discipline
