ABOUT HERBIES
PARENTS' ROLES
PARENTS AND AND TEACHING PROFESSIONALS OUGHT TO WORK TOWARD THE GOAL OF DEVELOPING A PARTNERSHIP OF WHICH THE EFFORTS CONTRIBUTE TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILD.
Presently, it has become necessary for parents to participate in school matters in such a way that they will be able to make a positive and active contribution, in the interests of the child in particular and the school in general, to improve the effectiveness of the school. Our school is exposed to constant competition from other prestigious schools in Gqeberha.
REMEMBER: ONLY THE BEST IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOUR CHILD.
Parents need to:
​
-
Support all school objectives;
-
Show loyalty to the school and school policies;
-
Create academic awareness at home;
-
Encourage learners to participate fully in the school’s extra-mural programme;
-
Supervise homework;
-
Commit to pay all fees levied by the school;
-
Set accepted levels of discipline and self-discipline at home and
-
Develop a sense of pride within their children.
PARENTS ARE ESSENTIAL ROLE PLAYERS IN EFFECTIVE SCHOOLING.
