Dear Parents
Matric Dance:
On Saturday evening, our Matric pupils, their partners and their teachers will attend the 2013 Matric Dance. The venue for this year’s dance is the stylish ballroom, the ‘historic’ Rotunda at the Bay Hotel.
This is a special evening where for the first time the Grade 12 pupils share a social occasion with their teachers. The Matric Dance has become a ‘rite of passage’ occasion that signifies another step towards adulthood for our senior pupils. The organizing committee have put a lot of effort into the evening and we are assured of a totally magical dance.
Groote Schuur Derby - 24 August 2013:
This year our Derby Day will be held at Groote Schuur High School. This is on 24 August 2013 and promises to be a wonderful morning of keenly contested games across all the winter sports codes. If you are able to come and support Camps Bay High on this morning we would welcome your attendance. The programme of the day, with the times of all the matches will be posted on our website the minute we receive it.
Drug Testing:
We have had a week where our attention has been on substance abuse, and dagga in particular. Our efforts have been directed to testing children about whom we are concerned. These concerns were raised by parents who have been suspicious of their children’s activities at parties over weekends. We have tested 26 children so far and sadly have had six children test positive for dagga. Following our drug protocol, all six have been suspended from school until they are clean. This means that they can only return to school when they can pass a drug test. We continue to believe that dagga is a dangerous habit-forming drug that can be the gateway to much harder drugs.
Our experience over the years is that dagga use has no positive outcomes for children, but many negative consequences. These include:
• Lack of motivation;
• Lying and devious behaviour to cover for drug usage;
• Listlessness;
• Declining work performance;
• Being ‘high’ which leads to lowered inhibitions and poor judgment;
• Weight loss;
• Association with a ‘dagga’ subculture which engages in anti-social behaviour like vandalism, theft and graffiti;
• Bunking school;
• Aggressive and argumentative behaviour at school.
We are resolved to help our pupils in every way to make wise choices about not using dagga, at all.
If a child is caught for a second time, they face more severe consequences.
Our School Magazines - Across the Generations:
We are again looking for families who have not yet appeared in our annual school magazines, of which the parents or grandparents were themselves pupils of at least one of our three Camps Bay Schools and have currently got a child enrolled at any of our Camps Bay Schools. If this is you, or you know of a family who qualifies, please contact Vivienne Ashcroft via cell phone on 082-466-8261 or via e-mail at campsbayschools@gmail.com.
Keep it in the Camps Bay family! Should you have children attending the Camps Bay Schools on two or more of the Camps Bay campuses, kindly contact Vivienne as well.
