WELCOME BACK
To all Bryandalians, welcome back to the 4th
and final term. We welcome a new family and
a returning past pupil, to Bryandale, and hope
their stay will be happy and rewarding.
The last term is short and packed with so
many demands - on Learners, Educators and
Parents. Please assist your children by
insisting that they are on time, stick to
deadlines, do their homework, and are not
absent. This will go a long way to ensuring
that they are able to complete the outcomes
for the year.

any books, please bring them to Room 1 and
Miss. Lombard will distribute them. We will

books.
YOU LEAD US
You lead us
We can shine
You lead us
Through good and bad times
Although you shout
and we get scared
We always know you care.
You lead us
through our Primary years
And when we leave
We will be full of tears.
But that is still a long time away.
So get used to it
We’re here to stay.

DIETARY BITES
What health benefits do legumes give us?
Legumes or beans are good sources of fibre
and B-vitamins. The fibre helps to reduce
cholesterol and has a low Glycemic Index (GI)
which keeps the blood glucose levels on an
even keel. The easiest way to include
legumes in the diet is to hide them in stews,
soups and salads. The most common legume
is the baked bean and the other legumes are
lentils, butter beans, small white beans and
chick-peas.
CODE OF CONDUCT
Bryandalians are correctly dressed for all
sporting occasions, are polite to coaches and
referees and do not question decisions
made on the sports field.
THRIFT SHOP
THRIFT SHOP – Opportunity Knocks

BUDGET
At our Parents’ Meeting on 20th September,
the Budget for 2007 was unanimously
approved by those present. Thank you to the
Parents who attended and especially to the
staff and SGB members who worked so very
hard in preparing the Budget. It was resolved
that School Fees will be charged in 2007 and
that these will R8,600 for Grades 2 – 7.
TRAFFIC
Take a look at the picture we’ve included this
week… this is how some of our parents are
“Leading By Example”. We urge parents to be
very careful when driving in the vicinity of
the school. We’ve had far too many “close
calls” and someone is going to get injured if
this traffic impatience and rudeness continue.
Please obey the traffic rules and be aware
of (and obey) the scholar patrol on duty.
