A special welcome is extended to all the new families who have joined us this term. We trust that the Staff and learners had a relaxing holiday and that everyone has recharged and is ready for the new term.

Netball and rugby have achieved some phenomenal accolades this term. Our u’11A netball team was crowned the best in Ekurhuleni and our u’9 and u’10 rugby teams are champions of the A2 Rugby League after winning their final clashes.

RPS has once again enjoyed a busy, but successful Term 2. A huge thank you to our dedicated staff, committed learners and supportive parents, who ensure that each term is a productive and enjoyable one.

‘Making a difference that matters’ – With the phenomenal amount of 10 wheelchairs to gift to those in need from our plastic lids collection and collaborating with Plastic Bubbles, we reached out to East Rand Palliative Care (Formerly Known as Hospice East Rand), the Gregg Mitchley Foundation and the Elethu Cheshire Home.

It is the second week of our Controlled Tests for our seniors. We trust that our learners have a good study routine in place to prepare for the remainder of the tests. We wish them luck and positivity!

Good luck to all the boys and girls for your tests/assessments that start this week Wednesday. Special good wishes to the Grade 4’s who are writing their first formal controlled tests – you can do this!

This week is an extremely busy one in terms of sport fixtures. We would like to wish our netball teams good luck for their 3 fixtures as well as our rugby teams for their fixture. Give it all you’ve got, boys and girls!

We trust that all our moms enjoyed a lovely Mother’s Day on Sunday. Congratulations to our talented Grade R’s who, along with Darren, presented a special tribute to our moms at the Assemblies last week.

We hope that the long weekend was enjoyed by all! Please ensure that your child is dressed correctly in their full winter uniform. The manner in which our learners present themselves in their school uniform reflects the image of our school. We have always had a high standard of dress code, please help us see to it that it remains the same.

Welcome back after a short break. I hope our learners and staff are all well rested, ready to tackle the last stretch of a busy term 2.
