Dear
Parents/Guardians
As
we come to the close of term 3 which started in April, we would like to take
this opportunity to thank you all for the support you rendered to your child
and his/her education be it at home or school. It was a wonderful term with lots
of experience and efforts and your patience is much appreciated. A lot of
activities have been happening this term such as assessments for the right
placement of the learners, mental health awareness, shopping day with the
learners, etc. We are also delighted to let you know that; most of our learners
have shown a very good improvement on both academic and social behaviour. We
will still continue to be very vigilant about ensuring that our learners are
achieving the best they can.
Our
vocational training group has also had a very wonderful term. We have managed
to identify some activities for our learners in the areas that they need to
specialise on and we will be working on that. Some of the activities that we
have concentrated in this academic year are; tailoring, mat making, gardening, kitchen
work, mat making, etc. it is in these
areas that we have identified the areas of specialisation for our learners. We are
continually identifying more activities which we can include in the vocational
training and your precious ideas are always welcome.
This
term we were also privileged to have worked with three volunteers; we had
Shanie from England; Miss Angella from Chancellor College and Miss Doreen from Catholic
University. These were a great addition to the team and they helped a lot both
with work as well as new ideas on how best to run our department.
School
re-opens on Monday 2nd September, 2019. We hope to see you again
next academic year, and our calendar for next term will be sent in the first
week of opening school. We will also be assessing new learners in the last week
of August and we urge you to confirm as soon as possible if your child will be
part of us next term so that their place would not be taken.
Please
take note of the fees adjustment for next term, the fees will be MK350, 000. The
raise has come to this amount because we would like to increase our staff in
order to ensure that every child is reached and assisted best, and also purchase
more useful resources for learners with special educational needs. We would
also want to make adjustments to our environment to be disability friendly.
We
here at SEND wish you a nice term break and we are looking forward to seeing
you again come September. We hope you will continue assisting your child at
home during the holiday.
Thank
you very much for your support. Enjoy the holiday
Yours
sincerely
Bridget Kaunda
(Head of Department)
