22 May 2020;12:00	Dear parents by now we all know that the department of Basic Education is intending to follow a staggered return to school. So the information with the highest probability of being correct is that we will be starting on 1 June for grade 12 learners only. Although there are suggested dates for the other grades we cannot with certainty accept that this will be the case. In this regard Holy Cross High School will continue with the online support going forward. Especially where parents do not wish to send their learners to school – we will still be teaching online. This will include all assessment as required for the year to be able to progress. However, parents will need to ensure that their learners are engaging,. I invite any parent who wishes to participate in an online teacher/parent meeting, that they please book a time through school reception. On Wednesday 27 June I will send a more detailed procedure for returning or staying at home.
14 May 2020, 12:00	Dear parents please note we are continuing with our online teaching. There is still much uncertainty about when learners return to school. For the time being we stay alert for any messages from the Department of Basic Education. What is of critical importance is that parents follow up on learners at home. We are in the process of preparing midterm progress reports to assist in gauging where learners stand academically. Please note we have been sending weekly planning for all subjects to all the email adresses we have for parents. If you are not receiving the planning documents please inform the school.
