5 LETTER FROM THE HEAD BOY 2020 Best prospective Cub You re here now, at the start of your high school career, and it is the first time you are meeting your new family, the Tigers. You made it to high school! Of course, this is a new world to you and maybe you re stressed; maybe you re scared; maybe you think you re finally with your type of people, and that you re going to flourish in high school. Whatever you might feel, there will be tough times in your life, now (in high school) and hereafter. Nobody is ever prepared for what life throws at them, but the best thing you can do, is realise that you are not alone. You will make friends, lose friends, but for this first year where everything is constantly changing and where it might be difficult to get through, you can know that the school and I am here for you, whenever you need help. The biggest mistake you can make, is to go through life thinking you are alone. Your time in high school will have a massive impact on the rest of your life. Do what you can to ensure that that impact is a positive one. I know you can do this! You have the choice, and considering you made it to high school in the first place, I also know you are capable. I don t know whether you are going to be a sport Tiger, culture Tiger, academics Tiger, or maybe even more than one, but I hope you enjoy what you do, and that you will achieve big things, wherever you find yourself. Lastly, I just want to remind you that you can always ask for help or advice the orientationmommy and I will be happy to help you. Remember that you are officially building the foundation of your future. Enjoy high school. Kaiden Theron Head Boy 2020 Page 5 of 24

6 LETTER FROM THE HEAD GIRL 2020 Best prospective Cub I want to start by saying how excited I am that you decided to join us here at Tygerberg! Regardless of what influenced your decision, you are here for a reason. The school has the potential to change and develop you and you have the opportunity to make the school a better place for everyone. I still remember how stressful the start of high school was for me. Every time someone asked me if I was ready for it, my stomach turned. A thousand What if...? thoughts played repeatedly in my mind. However, it was completely unnecessary to be nervous I have had some incredible experiences here at Tygerberg, which I will remember for the rest of my life. I am sure you will have great experiences here too! If you are not someone who is stressed about the start of high school and you can t wait to begin your journey here, that is wonderful. However, remember that high school is filled with people with more wisdom and experience than you, so use the opportunity to learn from them. You should also respect your status as a junior. Rules are made for a reason, and your Grade 8 year will be much easier if you follow them. I am sure you have heard this many times now, but the next five years will pass by in the blink of an eye. Use every moment! Participate in as many activities as possible, try new things, and get to know new people whenever you have the chance. Don t let anyone tell you that you are not good enough to achieve your goals. I believe in you! Don t hesitate to approach me if you need anything. Welcome to the Tiger family! Welcome to the Tiger family! Cara van der Colff Head Girl 2020 Page 6 of 24

You must listen when a teacher gives you an assignment and do it immediately. You must know all the school rules and obey it. 3. A Tiger is a social animal.

QUERIES: MANUEL S BUS SERVICES enquiries@manuels.co.za Tel: SCHOOL AND CLASS ATTENDANCE Absenteeism during tests, exams and continuous assessments requires a medical certificate.

If a learner is absent (without missing a test, exam or continuous assessment), on the first day back, he / she must hand in a letter to the grade head from the parent / guardian. Learners who arrive late for school have to report to reception and provide an acceptable explanation for being late. Ordinarily, a letter is required from the parent or legal guardian of the learner. The learner will be issued with a note and then he/she must report to the grade head with the note. Thereafter, the learner reports to his / her class and gives the note to the relevant teacher. Learners will not be allowed to join their classes without such a note. Learners who are not registered during the admin period will be marked absent, irrespective of whether prior arrangements have been made or not. The school may not grant permission for learners to leave the school premises during normal school hours. Should a parent wish to withdraw a learner during the school day, the school must be informed BEFORE the time in writing and the communication must be addressed to the relevant grade head. Learners must be signed out by all their subject teachers, using the prescribed form, and present themselves at the front office with the signed form. The learner will then be released into the care of the parent, but only if the full process has been followed. When a learner becomes ill during the school day, he/she must report to the relevant grade head. The school will then communicate with the parent, after which the normal signing-out procedure will be followed. The learner does NOT contact his / her parent / guardian. Emergency cases will be dealt with by the grade head. Page 17 of 24

18 DETENTION AND ACADEMIC DETENTION FOR GRADE DETENTION: The school uses the CDS disciplinary pointsystem. Each transgression is uploaded to the system and detention letters are issued accordingly. Every Friday afternoon (14h30-16h30) there is detention under the supervision of educators for learners who violate the code of conduct of the school. A letter in which the offenses and reason for the detention is listed, is handed to the learner on Thursdays. He / she then takes the letter home and returns it to the register teacher with the parent's signature on the following day. The parent / guardian will receive an SMS prior to the detention date. Learners must organise their transport accordingly. Failure to show up for detention leads to an extra detention given. After another absence without reason, a disciplinary hearing will be held. ACADEMIC DETENTION: Every Friday afternoon (14h30-16h30) there is academic detention under the supervision of educators for learners who have unfinished homework or outstanding tasks. If a learner has any assignment or task not submitted by the deadline, he/she has to complete the unfinished work in academic detention. The learner will receive a letter which explains all the outstanding work on Thursday which must be taken home so that the parent can sign it and the learner can return it to the register teacher during registration on the Friday. The learner may only leave the Academic Detention room once all the outstanding work has been fully completed and submitted. Page 18 of 24
