SCHOOL UNIFORMS

Please note that the uniform shop is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm then on Saturday 8am to 1pm for your convenience. There is staff dedicated to assist you at all times .We are very happy to inform you that you can now shop online in the comfort of your homes and from wherever you are. Wearing school uniforms cultivates equality in schools, it can prevent social snobbery through certain dress styles that are associated with particular wealth or status. With school uniforms you can break down societal and culture walls, making it easier for the children to interact with one another from diverse backgrounds. It is for this reason that we encourage parents to make an effort to secure a complete uniform for the learners.

School Communication In an effort to enhance school-parent communication, Taalnet Group of Schools launched the School communication application. We encourage all the parents to download and register so that they keep up to date with all developments in the school. Can be downloaded from the Play store. As if this is not enough, we now have 24/7 online support via our website www.taalct.co.za where parents can be attended to at any time of the day from anywhere in the world – for us, distance is not a barrier.We take note of the environment we live in that needs to be taken care of hence the need for a paperless environment. Parents are urged to take advantage of these communication tools so that they do not miss out on very important information.

Thank you for entrusting us with your

children to ensure that they realize their

visions. Trust us, we shape it, we build it

and we guarantee that they are on a

trajectory to success.

In line with our Vision, the following are

our key school strategic thrusts for 2019:

(i)Make sure that ICT in all our schools is

enhanced

(ii)Ensure that we have Science Labs and

related equipment in all the schools

(iii)Student textbook ratio of 1:1

(iv)Achievement of 100% pass rate

For us to achieve the above, we need to

work very hard and the support from

parents plays a very important role.

Levies are well stipulated in all the

schools and we are appealing to all the

parents for timeous payments.

We have managed to keep the same staff

we had last year and a few ones who are

no longer in the system have been

replaced by still qualified , motivated

and experienced Educators who are full

of energy and have a high vive for

success. Do not worry the learners are in

capable and safe hands. Communication

is one of the key drivers of success in

every organization.

Parents are reminded that a student ID is mandatory. Students should carry ID cards on them at all times and this increases safety for both students and staff. We do not want trespassing in our school premises hence the need to restrict entry by means of student IDs. The school offers a same day service for the IDs for everyone’s convenience. We request all parents to ensure that all the leaners have the IDs with them.
