Firstly, we would like to thank our staff and all our families for their enormous efforts that once again enabled us to face the challenge of distance learning at the beginning of this year.

Taking into account the evolution of the still distressing health and safety situation in South Africa in addition to the recommendations made by the South African Department of Basic Education, we have decided to proceed with a gradual and staggered approach to implement in-person teaching. This decision was taken under the authority of the French Ambassador and in consultation with the School Board.

Please take note of the following dates:

• Monday, 1 February 2021: return to in-person, contact learning for students in Pre-Primary (TPS, PS, MS, GS) and students in Grade 12 (all services will be available including the canteen service, aftercare and extra-curricular activities).
• Monday, 8 February 2021: return to in-person, contact learning for all students. (all services will be available including the canteen service, aftercare and extra-curricular activities).

The school entry and exit protocols as well as the schedule will be the same as first term.

We thank you, dear parents, for your collective efforts, which will allow us to take the next step in this protracted crisis, united as one. We would also like to stress the importance of respecting prevention measures outside the school premises: it is indeed thanks to the vigilance of our entire community that we will guarantee everyone’s health in the long term.

Again, you can count on our teams to guarantee top quality education and support for your children.
