2021 TERM TWO

Dear Grade 11 Learner

The COVID-19 pandemic

has changed our lives in so
many ways. In South
Africa, we have gone through different levels, experienced some challenging
times. While all measures are taken to ensure that the spread of the pandemic
is brought under control, we remain unsure about the future.

In the words of Dr. Dr Takeshi Kasai of the WHO, ‘worldwide we have

surpassed 106 million cases, and tragically, more than 2.3 million people
have lost their lives to the disease. These are not just numbers, but people.
Each person has a name and a story. And each name is someone’s mother,
father, child, brother, sister or grandparent.’
So, whatever the lockdown level, you must remember to remain focused on your
goals. You are encouraged to stay disciplined, persevere and keep on keeping
on!!!!!
It is important to remember that
the virus has no feet, nor hands……

we are the ones who help it to

move. So, adhere to the health protocols.

Below are a few protocols

 Tell someone when you feel sick feeling sick (do not come to school)
 Refrain from teasing anyone who are sick 9(infected with virus)
 Wash hands frequently with soap and water
 Refrain from touching eyes, mouth & face
 Not share cups, eating utensils, food, drinks with others
 Sneeze or cough into a bent elbow or tissue
 Share information with family & friends

SANITISE…ALWAYS WEAR A MASK… MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING…AND STAY

SAFE!
