Furthermore it stated that the school has always opened the gates at 07:30 prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, during summer and at 07:15 during the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith this said we would like to use this opportunity to notify <em>TygerBurger<\/em> that the SGB along with Mrs Kesten has deliberated on the article published in February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe, as the SGB and teaching staff, have reached a consensus that the school gates will open at 07:15 instead of 07:30 from Monday to Friday, in summer and winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs we have heard the parents\u2019 concern and tried to accommodate their needs, we plead that parents would hear us, and respect the road rules around the school to ensure the safety of their own and others\u2019 children that move toward and away from the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe encourage parents to use the morning care facility if they need to drop learners earlier than 07:15. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe school unfortunately does not have the human resource capacity to open the gates earlier,\u201d the letter by the SGB and its chair, Steve Cloete, reads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parents of learners
