Dear Parents

I take this opportunity on the last day of this term to congratulate the pupils and staff for their immense efforts
in the classrooms, on the sports fields, in the cultural sphere, and for their enthusiastic approach to the various charity drives under the banner of Service.

In the same vein, I thank you, as parents, for all of your support and encouragement – for Felixton College, and your children. I have thoroughly enjoyed our interactions, on the sides of the sports fields, and in passing.

In closing off Term 2, here are a few flash cards/points:

• Please note that school reopens for Term 2 on Tuesday 9 July.
• The Term 3 Planner will be issued with the Term 2 Report, so please look out for a schedule packed with Academic, Sport, Culture, and Service commitments and plan accordingly.
• Some exciting flagship events for Term 3 include the Grade 12 Matric Farewell, as well as entries and performances in the upcoming Eisteddfod (Junior School and High School).
• The quarterly reminder for the start of term, with regard to traffic flow, is for parents to respect the traffic route for drop-offs and pick-ups during peak times in the mornings and afternoons.

Staff news
Mrs Tammy Cameron goes on retirement at the end of this term. We thank her for her contributions to the College over the course of her tenure here, and wish her only the very best as she begins the next chapter of her life. Whatever lies in store, may it begin with much deserved rest and relaxation.
