TRAFFIC FLOW

Our learners’ safety is of utmost importance to us, therefore we request that you help us with the traffic flow in Tafelberg Crescent.

We cannot change the traffic rules, but we would appreciate it if you would all come in with the road , at the AGS church, and exit at JCS.

If everybody co-operates it will definitely contribute to the smooth flow of traffic in the mornings and afternoons.  We thank you for assisting us to ensure the safety of everyone.

• The small gate at the Grade 0 and 00 classes is only for their use. The other grades and parents may not use it.
• The Grade 1, 2 and 3 parents must also stop in the open area / paving at Baviaanskloof street (opposite gym). Learners must use the small gate in the corner of the hockey field.
• The Grade 4 and 5’s must use on gate on the side of rugby field. Parents must stop in the open field there.

The Grade 6 and 7 parents must also make use of the small gate nearest to Mr. Venter’s classroom [near tuck shop] when school comes out.  Not the small gate nearest the Admin Block. The small gate will be locked immediately at 7:30, when the morning bell rings, and will be unlocked at 12:00, each day. Should a child be late for school, he/she must use the “Admin” small gate. In this way regular late-comers can be monitored.
