Greetings parents and guardians. Today officially marks the end of the term 3 of the 2017/18 academic year, may I take this opportunity to thank you for the support you gave us as a school .Your faith and trust in our Bambino brand will always be rewarded by quality education and quality results. I also would like. to congratulate all our learners as they graduate from the current grade to new challenges in the next academic year. The just ended academic year was a very productive one with the activities below being the major highlights.

This event was held at Bambino grounds. The theme for the graduation was YES WE CAN, WE HAVE and WE WILL .Top three students from standard 1-6 and those who were outstanding in sports were presented with special awards. The top students in standard 7 were also recognized. The results and the presentations done by the learners truly reflected on the theme of the day .We sincerely thank the parents who graced this event and wish them well in their new life in High School.

REPORT CARD
The report is not about positions but carefully look at the grades your ward has scored. Where they have scored high, our wards can still be encouraged to continue fighting for distinctions. Words like lazy, poor should never be used. Let us also find time to also help and discuss School work with our beloved wards.
School Website
You can also get information about our school on www.Bambinoschools.org
From PTA
Very few parents co-operated in terms of paying the school fund fund so starting term 1 PTA money is embedded in the main fees structure
- Support your PTA
FROM PTA- G. CHISUSU (CHAIR)
I hear some parents say they don’t know what the BAMBINO PTA actually does, who they are, when they are, when they meet and whether you can attend. They appear to be like this invisible force that just ‘makes some things happen!!’ Unless you are involved, you are unaware of the amount of work that is involved. All that is about to change.
We need to relook at the PTA mandate and activities, we will be asking all of you to help us to :-
~Pay PTA fund together with fees
~Have Bambino PTA online
~Encourage the school to have a ‘Parent’ section of the school’s website, bringing into the 21st century, including adding LOADS more content about the PTA
~Implement a Suggestion Box located in Reception where you can leave your ideas, suggestions and your contact details instead of just using the WhatsApp groups
We will provide you with dates, times and venue of our meetings for the term in the first newsletter of the academic year .These are informal meetings and anyone can attend. But maybe YOU can bring something to the table. You just need to have a desire to want MORE of your children.
I wish you a fruitful holiday with your wards and hope to see you on the 4th of September as we start our new academic year.
