CIRCULAR NO. 6

26 February 2014

Dear Parents

“THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM,

BUT THE SECOND MOUSE GETS THE CHEESE.”

Author Unknown

KFm were at Fairmont High School to draw the winner of the K-Day tickets. The winner was

Romano Cigana in Grade 12.

1) ACADEMICS On Tuesday this week, we held a special academic meeting with Grade 11 pupils and their parents. I would like to thank our parents for their support and hope that the meeting was worthwhile. For those pupils and parents who were unable to attend, the subject of the meeting was as follows: This is the 3rd year that Grade 11 pupils are involved in the CAPS curriculum which is

extremely demanding in its detail. Every lesson is critical for its roll out. Our current Grade 12’s will experience only two full terms of schoolwork this year. After

their trials in the 3rd Term, they leave to write their Finals just 1 week into the 4th term. This means that our current grade 11’s need to understand that the work they are completing this year is fundamental to their performance next year and how they need to focus on their academics this year.

What is really important and the major reason we have asked Grade 11’s and parents to be with us on Tuesday, relates to university entrance for our pupils in 2017.

Those wishing to study at Stellenbosch and other universities in 2017 will get their provisional acceptance based on their marks and performance of this year. In other words, they will have to submit their Grade 11 marks to the university for entrance purposes. We felt that it was really important to share this information with those present. What we have understood from the representatives of the local Universities is that they have ‘tightened up’ on basic requirements for entrance to their institutions, meaning that our grade 12’s of next year will have to set their goals high to achieve the entrance requirements. We are not to be discouraged by this at all as we receive numerous letters from the universities thanking us for the quality students that we send to them. The following information was taken from the websites of the University of Stellenbosch and UCT. We understand that this information might be subject to change and encourage you to make contact with the universities to conduct your research into entry requirements. This information should be verified by parents.

STELLENBOSCH UNIVERSITY

Calculating Admissions Points Score (APS) The percentages achieved in National Senior Certificate examinations (preliminary and final examinations) will be allocated an admission score equal to that percentage. The sum of six subjects, excluding Life Orientation, but including English and any required subject(s) for the relevant programme, is considered when deciding on admission. (For example, for a given programme where Maths and Physical Sciences are required, we will take scores for English, Maths, Physical Sciences and the next best three subjects other than Life Orientation to compute the NSC score towards the APS.) Results below 40% for any subject do not attract a score. For more information, visit their website: https://www.uct.ac.za/apply/criteria/

PLEASE NOTE! All pupils are required to be at school at the regular time - 07h55 - even if they are not writing a test. This time will be used for consolidation or tasks organized by various subject departments. All parents are asked to please be aware that when your child misses a Monday or a Thursday test, a relevant chemist slip (the date on the slip must pertain to the pupil’s absenteeism and medication bought), a certificate from the clinic or a doctor’s certificate is required. A medical certificate from either the clinic or the doctor is applicable for missing any exam. A note from you excusing your child from school for the days missed is also required. Grade 9 and Matric pupils must produce a doctor’s certificate for tests and exams missed as these are the two exit phases and their marks are externally moderated by the Education Department. Learners are not allowed to go home immediately after a test if they are ill. They have to stay until first break. If they are ill, then they should not come to school. A doctor’s certificate will be required.
