WELCOME BACK
Welcome back for the second term of 2006.
We trust that you have all had a good rest.
May the two families who are new to the
school have a long and happy association with
us.
GOVERNING BODY
ELECTIONS
All public schools will hold Governing Body
elections in May. One major change in the
process is the insistence of a 15% quorum for
the nomination meeting. This meeting will be
rescheduled until there is a 15% quorum. This
translates to 340 parents (mothers and fathers
each have their own vote). In order to ensure
we have only one meeting, please complete
the attached slip. Should we be short of the
number this way, we will telephone, e-mail
and SMS parents until we have the required
number agreeing to attend the meeting.
Please bear with us, so that we are able to
ensure that we do not have to re-convene this
very important election.
THE FORMAT FOR THE EVENING:
The Annual General Meeting will take place
after the nomination meeting. Should only six
members be nominated, they will
automatically be elected.
If there are more than six nominations, voting
will take place immediately after the AGM.
This meeting will take place at 19h00 in the
school hall on Wednesday 24 May 2006.
Fourways High School Election Committee will
oversee our election and we will return the
favour.
NB! MEETING DATES
BPA Meeting Monday 22 May 17h00

WINTER UNIFORM

are part of this production, so that it becomes
part of the learning experience.
