Communication with parents

 

There are a few ways in which the school communicates with the parents. It is important that parents are informed about what is happening at school at all times.  Students can receive letters or announcements at school. Talk to your child and explain to them that it is important that they inform you of any new developments at school or if they received any letters. Uninvolved parents make it difficult to effectively help the child.  Here are some other ways to stay informed: 

 

1)    SMS

 

The school sends sms’s to parents regularly containing important information. It is important to make sure the school has the correct phone numbers. It is your responsibility to inform the school of a new number.  It is VERY important that the school has the correct contact details of parents.  We have to be able to reach you in emergencies. 

The SMS’s can contain the following information:  

·         Information on times/ civvie days etc.

·         Notices about disciplinary hearings (Parents need to attend)

·         Notices that letters were sent out and need to be returned.

·         Notices that the student is often late for school.

·         Parent evenings (Good relationships with the teachers are important for the students’ education.)

 

2)    The monthly letter

The monthly letter is a newsletter that the school publishes every month with important information on dates, functions, announcements, fees, discipline etc. This letter is available on the website, app and at school.

 

3)       Website

www.hsbfn.com contains information about the school.

Visit it regularly as we post new information on a continuous basis.

Gedragskode vir leerders

 

1.        Verpligte onderwys

 

Alle leerders tussen die ouderdom van 7 tot 16 jaar is onderhewig aan verpligte onderrig by ‘n skool en skoolbywoning bly die ouer se verantwoordelikheid.

 

2.        Tye

 

2.1         Leerders moet skool gereeld bywoon en betyds wees.

2.2         Wanneer die klok 07:55 lui, moet leerders reeds op die skoolgronde wees en klas toe beweeg.  Enige persoon wat nie hierdie reël volg nie word as laat geag en ontvang ‘n strafkaart. Die strafkaart word in ons dissiplinesisteem ingelees.

2.3         Niemand mag die skoolgronde voor 13:50 sonder toestemming verlaat nie.

2.4         Skooltyd is akademiesetyd en moet as ‘n prioriteit gesien word.  Maak asseblief afsprake na skoolure. (Dokter, Tandarts, Kliniek, Lisensie ens.)

 

3.        Pouses en voor skool

 

3.1         Die volgende gebiede is verbode

 

·           Die asbesklasse

·           Enige plek naby die heining – langs Gladstoneweg en die heining tussen ons en die Laerskool.

·           Die Laerskool

·           Tennisbane

·           Busse en personeel se motorafdakke

·           Die hek deurgang na die personeel se motors.

·           Die hek waar die personeel in-en-uit ry. Dit is slegs vir die busse om deur te ry, nie om deur te loop nie.

·           Die stormwatersloot agter die skool is ten alle tye verbode.

·           Die personeelkamer, saal en die administratieweblok (kantoor) is verbode terrein sonder die teenwoordigheid/toestemming van ‘n personeellid.

·           Geen leerder mag ook die glasskuifdeure gebruik wat na die personeelkamer lei nie; mits ‘n personeellid saam is of toestemming gee.

 

 

4.        “School Based Assessment tasks”

(SBA’s bv. eksamens en toetse)

 

4.1         Wanneer ‘n leerder afwesig was vir ‘n SBA taak, moet daar ‘n doktersbrief of beëdigde verklaring (affidavit) van die SAPD ingehandig word, waar die rede vir die afwesigheid verduidelik word.  Dit is dan die leerder se verantwoordelikheid om hierdie brief aan die spesifieke vakonderwyser deur te gee, asook ‘n kopie by die kantoor inhandig.  Enige leerder wat afwesig van skool was, moet die skool die volgende dag in kennis stel (of wanneer die leerder ‘n volgende vak gaan skryf).  As leerders nie by hierdie reël hou nie, beteken dit dat hy/sy geen punte vir die SBA gaan ontvang nie.  Vroeë vakansies en enige ander verskonings gaan nie aanvaar word nie en dit gaan ook ‘n nul vir die taak beteken.

 

4.2         ‘n Leerder wat oneerlik is in ‘n SBA-taak of eksamen, kan al die punte van daardie spesifieke SBA-taak of eksamenvraestel verloor.  Die leerder sal n tweede vraestel ontvang. Die eerste vraestel word ingeneem saam met bewyse en strafkaart, tyd en datum van oortreding word op vraestel aangeteken.  Die SAIC-komitee van die skool sal elke saak hanteer en die uitslag van die verhoor is finaal.

 

'n Leerder wat met 'n selfoon of slimhorlosie gevang word, sal as oneerlik beskou word, ongeag of dit aangeskakel of afgeskakel is. Dieselfde prosedures, as oneerlikheid in SBA, sal gevolg word.

 

4.3         SBA-take moet op die datum ingehandig word wat die onderwyser vereis. Alle SBA-take moet ook plaasvind op spesifieke datums, nie vroeër of later nie. (eksamens/toetse). Sou 'n leerder versuim om gehoor daaraan te gee, sal dit lei tot 'n onvolledigheidspunt vir die betrokke SBA.

 

5.        Klaswisseling

 

5.1         Leerders moet vining en flink klaswissel.  Na 4 minute lui daar weer ‘n klok en dan moet jy reeds in die klas wees.

5.2         As die betrokke personeellid nie by die klas is nie, wag die leerders stil buite, terwyl die VRL-lid van die klas die onderwyser langsaan of die naaste bestuurspanlid inlig.

5.3         As die personeellid afwesig is, moet die leerders op die betrokke personeellid se deur kyk na watter toesig personeel se klas hulle moet gaan.

5.4         Leerders beweeg aan die linkerkant van die stoepe en trappe sodat verkeer maklik kan vloei.

5.5         Niemand mag op die trappe staan en gesels en die verkeer ophou nie.  Jy mag ook nie stamp en stoot op die trappe nie.

5.6         Geen geraas op die stoepe nie.

5.7         In die geval van reën word net die sementtrappe gebruik.

 

6.        Rook/Alkohol/Dwelms en Pornografie

 

6.1         Bogenoemde is verbode.  Geen leerder mag rook of in die besit van sigarette, tabak of enige soortgelyke middels wees nie.  Hierdie middels mag onder geen omstandighede op die skoolgronde, busse en busstoppe, geboue, klasse, areas langs of naby die skool wees nie.  Elektriese rooktoestelle (bv. Hukka pipe/Vape ens.) is verbode oral op die skoolterrein, busse ens.

6.2         Rook is vebode oral waar ‘n leerder aan die skool geaffilieer is/ besig is met ‘n skoolaktiwiteit ens. (Sport/kultuur/toer).

6.3         Enige gedrag wat hierdie reëls oorskry is disrespekvol en blatant. Die betrokke leerder sal strafkaarte ontvang en in die dissiplinestelsel ingelees word.

6.4         Leerders wat in dieselfde groepe beweeg of in gesprekke tree met leerders wat hierdie reëls oortree, word ook as skuldig gesien en sal ook gestraf word. Bv. Wanneer jy by iemand staan en gesels wanneer hulle rook op die skoolgronde, sal jy ook gestraf word.

6.5         Die bogenoemde reëls word ook toegepas op die gebruik en misbruik van alkohol en dwelms.  Dit word ook op die besit van enige tipe pornografie toegepas. Alle onwettige middels sal gekonfiskeer word.

 

7.        Verbode middels en materiaal
