    MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

    Thank you to all the parents who joined us for Parents’ Morning recently. We value the time you took to meet with your child’s teachers and support their learning journey. We are grateful for your continued involvement.

    Traffic Patrol – Mount Street

    A very big thank you to our SGB members who have been assisting with traffic patrol in Mount Street every morning to help improve the flow of traffic in the ‘drop and go’ zone. We appreciate your hard work in ensuring our learners arrive at school safely. We kindly remind parents to use the ‘drop and go’ area as intended by dropping off their children and moving on promptly to avoid congestion. If you are able to assist with traffic patrol from 07:00 to 07:25, please contact Mrs Bester – vbester@bryanstonprimary.co.za.

    Interschool Athletics

    Our learners participated in the cluster event at Bryanston Parallel Medium School, making us incredibly proud with their outstanding performances. They earned 11 gold, 13 silver and 13bronze medals throughout the day, truly shining as stars on the track and field. We are equally proud of their excellent sportsmanship and enthusiasm which made the day both enjoyable and inspiring for all.

    Parent Supporter Hats

    We are excited to offer Supporter Hats for parents who wish to show their support at school events and activities.  The school will not be keeping stock of Parent Supporter Hats, it will be on order only at a cost of R400. An order form will be emailed to all parents and linked to our newsletter. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs Bester – vbester@bryanstonprimary.co.za

    If lightning is detected during school or at functions and extra murals the following procedure is to be followed:

    • The educator in charge of the activity will press the Weather Alarm situated across from Room 25 and hold for 5 seconds. All activities are to cease with immediate effect and all learners are to be ushered to safety under cover of the school buildings or classrooms which ever are available at the time.
    • If there is lightning during dismissal times, learners will stay in the classrooms in their Grade Corridor and parents will collect the learners from the classroom. If an educator has an extra-mural that is not cancelled and continues during rain and lightning, then they will split their learners amongst the educators on the corridor.
    • Learners will stay in their class until 14H30 at which time they will move to the hall and will be looked after till 15H00 by the sport coaches on duty, at which time the security officers will take over the duty. If there is no lightning and it is just raining, then learners will go to the gate as per normal. Please ensure all learners carry an umbrella with them to school

    Parents are reminded that the dismissal times for the Grades are as follows:

    Grade R13:00
    Grade 1-213:00
    Grade 3-713:40

    All information regarding aftercare may be found here.

    There are still many parents who are entering the NO RIGHT TURN area on Mount Street. Please adhere to all road signals to assist with the flow of traffic. Please obey all instructions given by our security guards.

    JMPD have informed BPS that they will be doing spot visits to the school to monitor and assist with regulating traffic.

    JMPD have also suggested that parents drive up Mount Street (if coming from Grosvenor), and turn into Cross Road (towards the gym) and then join onto Main Road to flow into William Nicol, if you need to get back onto William Nicol Drive.

    There is a NO RIGHT TURN sign on Mount Street, on the island (coming from Grosvenor) that indicates that no cars coming from Grosvenor are allowed to turn right into the parking area. Please adhere to all road signs in order to assist with traffic congestion.

    As we are moving into warmer weather and the rainy season, please ensure that your child has wet weather fear (umbrella/raincoat) in their bags each day.
