PROGRESS REPORTS
The teachers compile a written progress report on each child’s progress in June and December.
These are very comprehensive and detailed reports with assessments and observations made by the teachers on a daily basis. If at any stage the teachers or parents feel the need for a child to get professional assistance, it will be discussed with the parents personally. Parents are encouraged to meet with the teachers at any stage should they feel the need to assist the child or if they suspect any shortcomings in the child’s behaviour or performance. The Grade R's receive quarterly reports so the parents can monitor their progress.

CLASS DOJO
As a school, you often need to get important information to parents. Class Dojo ensures that the right news reaches the right parents at the right time, with no chance of getting lost along the way. Communication between the school and the parents are very important in order to enhance the development of your child. Parents are advised to use Class Dojo to encourage good communication between them and the school.
Extra-Mural Activities
The objective of these extra-mural activities is to stimulate children in areas outside of their compulsory activities in the education system. The high standard of activities offered is within the perimeter of the school grounds and hours.​ Physical movement and co-ordination is an important part of our development. All children do movement, sport and ball skills during school time. Bubbles & Balloons offer some extra-murals which are optional choices for children to do.
