🏉 Tough matches build stronger teams.

A challenging day on the field against Trinity House Randpark Ridge but every game is an opportunity to grow, improve and come back stronger. 💪

Congratulations to our U16 team on their fantastic victory! 👏🔥

To all our rugby boys — keep your heads high, keep working hard, and keep believing. Losses teach lessons, and lessons build champions. 💙💖💛

A letter from Ms V....

Dear Roosevelt Family

As we approach the start of the Midyear Examinations on Monday, 25 May, I would like to ask something very important of our parents and guardians:
Please give your child the grace and space to study.

Examinations are stressful. It is tough being a teenager, and during exam periods the pressure and anxiety can become overwhelming. Our children need quiet spaces, encouragement, reassurance and enough uninterrupted time to prepare properly for their examinations.

Please look after them during this time.

Spoil them a little more than usual with hearty meals, healthy snacks, words of encouragement and patience. Sometimes the smallest gestures make the biggest difference. A child who feels supported studies differently.

At the same time, please also help us by limiting screen time. Better yet — take the phones away when they are studying. I promise you they do not need their phones for “studying” the entire time, and most of the time they are not looking up notes. The distractions of social media, messages, and notifications are one of the biggest obstacles to effective preparation.

This is now crunch time.
Focus time.
Academic time.

You would have seen on the examination timetable that we have streamlined certain processes from last year to better support our learners and parents.
The Sports Gate will be open daily from 11:15 – 11:45 for:
• Learners who have completed their examination session and wish to continue studying at home; and
• Learners who are only writing during the second session.

As always, supervised study classes will remain available at school should you prefer your child to stay and study in a structured environment. In addition, all staff members remain available should learners wish to arrange extra lessons or academic support.

To our learners:
We are proud of you already. Keep pushing. Keep trying. Keep showing up. Your results do not define your worth, but your effort, resilience and commitment matter.

And to our parents:
Thank you for walking this journey with us. It truly takes a village.

As always,
Ms V <3
