To have life more abundantly

Circular 8 of 2017
2 March 2017

Dear Parents

What an overwhelming response by Grade 8 parents and pupils wrt their Academic Performance
Evening. It is encouraging to see parents forming a partnership with the school and staff to ensure
that our pupils, their children, SOAR to new academic heights. Any feedback would be
appreciated: Mrs Vollgraaff dvollgraaff@edgemeadhigh.org.za

Thank you to all those who supported the Blood Donors Drive.

Tickets for our performance of Grease at the Baxter Theatre are now available on Computicket.
Please book and enjoy the Cultural aspect of school life where our children are having life more
abundantly.

EHS prides itself on its image portrayed by the pupils, yet we have those who do not value the
importance of wearing their uniform with pride. NO UNIFORM RULES HAVE CHANGED.
Please ensure your child is appropriately dressed. It should not become a disciplinary matter
which takes away academic time but rather I am EHS, I portray EHS with Pride. Lets pursue
excellence together.

Proudly EHS

Mr RG Lawrence
