'if' PTA REPORT The fundraising year of 1988 will be remembered by many as a year of disappointments and successes. Luckily the successes outweigh the disappointments and as the old sayinggoes We learn by our mistakes . The spirit and enthusiasm of the Committee was such that they refused to give up and we can look back on a suc- cessful year of fundraising even though we were not able to reach our target. Thanks to Mr Just and the staff, we started off the year on a very sound footing with the successful Edu-Past project. Our first project was the much talked about Mardi Gras in which the co-operation of the parents of MJ S was a joy to behold! Just to be part of that wonderful team spirit made the project worthwhile. Two very enthusiastic PTA ladies then introduced us to their Make-a-Rand-grow project and worked very hard at motivating us all. This turned out to be a very successful venture which culminated in the Mini-Fete in September. This was an evening that will long be remembered by all who attended. Another very successful evening was our 60's Dance and Auction Evening which was held in August. It turned out to be very enjoyable and made a handsome profit! Our Car Boot Sales also got off to a good start and were financially rewarding, but had to be curtailed due to in- clement weather and for security reasons. Hopefully they will be resumed in the future. Unfortunately, this report goes to print while our final fundraising activities are still being planned. I am sure that our Open Day at the end of October and the visit of the Cape Welsh Choir will both be highly successful events. I would like to say thank you to the MJ S staff for all their help and support, to Mrs du Preez and Mrs Hickey for all their help and to the parents who have supported us - I know'that financially this has not always been easy but without you there would not have been any successful fundraising events this year. Also a big thank you to all the hardworking MJ S pupils. Finally to the PTA Committee members, who have spent hours on the telephone, walked and driven kilometres and begged and borrowed where necessary, thank you for all the time and effort you have put into the projects you have worked on this year. It has been a privilege to work with you all. Have a lovely Christmas and New Year and a safe and restful holiday! Carol-Ann Sharpe PTA Chairlady 4 Bill'-1 . I , I A ' AMQLIIIIQXTI'-f:1 4 ' ' .

.7 F s SCHOOL COMMITTEE CHAlRMAN'S REPORT I FOR THE 1988 YEAR My thoughts turn to the year 1988 at Muizenberg Junior School and, in fact, the past three years as Chairman of the school committee. I can only say that they have been good years, years in which the school has grown from strength to strength. The path has not always been smooth, and the decisions taken not always easy. Many decisions have out of necessity had to be made and these were not always popular. They have always, I assure you, been made in what, we, as a committee, felt was in the best interests of the school and our children. We are moving into difficult and trying times in the education of our children and we will have to accept that education is no longer the responsibility of the state. We as parents will have to shoulder the full responsibility for the standard of education from which we wish our children to benefit. This can only be related to the amount of money that we are prepared to invest in our childrenis future. It is each parent's individual and specific responsibility to pay school fees and is indeed not morally acceptable that the few who religiously pay their school fees, should carry the burden for those who do not. There are, and will always be, those who simply cannot pay, and the school, I assure you, is aware of the cir- cumstances in these homes and will not press for pay- ment in these cases. There are many members who can afford to pay, and do not, for reasons we find difficult to comprehend. Should the payment ratio not improve dramatically this coming year, the school will have to consider closing and ceasing to offer certain very essential facilities and services presently offered in the curriculum. For exam- ple, the swimming pool would be closed thus saving the school approximately R3 000 per annum. The bus would be sold thus repatriating certain cash resources to the school coffers. We would have to cease purchasing books for the library and educational aids for teaching. All of these measures, I am sure you will appreciate, will affect your child's education disastrously. By the time you read this report you will all be aware that five members, including myself, who no longer have children at the school, have decided to make way for new members of the school committee via a by- election of the 26th October, thus enabling them to play a more active role in steering the school into the future. I wish to convey my heartfelt thanks to the following long-serving and long-suffering members of the school committee: Mrs Averil Myers Mrs Maureen Montgomery Mr Rob Pringle Mr Dereck Potgieter all of whom have unstintingly given of their time and talents over many years. I am sure the school and the parents will join me in thanking them most sincerely and wishing them well as they take up further respon- sibilities at the new schools to which their children have gone. They all join me in wishing the school, the parents and, particularly the children, the best of luck for the future. Jeremy Poole PRE-PRIMARY 1988 The year is nearly at an end and the Pre-Primary School have had a productive year. I am sure they all enjoyed the outings and the additions to their classroom. First on the agenda was the painting of the jungle-gym and outside equipment which with the help of the parents was completed in quick time. Next was a marathon project by Mr Plastow and Mr Otty which was to build a platform in one section of the classroom, and a really professional job was done. This 'quiet time' area houses the Book Corner and Listening Corner. New toys have been purchased as well as an oven and a really super tape recorder. Our two main events of the last term were a Mini- Market, Fancy Dress and our Annual Concert and Braai to which the new parents and children for next year were invited. We were fortunate enough to have ballet and swimming for the pre-primary children this year - a big thank you to Carol-Anne Sharpe and Irene Dixon. Also a big thank you to all parents and commit- tee members for all the effort put in to make this year a successful one. May I end by wishing you all a safe holiday and a happy Christmas.
