Happy 4th of July Alex.

In 2002 Alex was born and is alive due to the fact that she was not born in a state hospital. Necrotising enterocolitis is the third most common
cause of mortality in premature births and has a 95% relative increase in the likelihood of death. Tygerberg Children’s Hospital, there is officially a 1kg, 28-week gestation cut-off guideline for admission to an NICU for ventilation. Alex was less than 1Kg and was in ICU of a private hospital 5 minutes later. Three months later Alex was discharged.

The meaning of Alex is "man's defender, warrior, protector"

What does a South African School Governing Body do ?

WHAT DOES AN SGB DO?
 
 
A SGB must ensure that the school is governed in the best interest of all the stakeholders. All SGB members must always put the best interest of the school before any personal interests. Parents must form the majority of members on the school governing body. The South African Schools Act states that the number of parents in any school governing body must be at least half plus one of the total combined number of members with voting rights.

  • Promote the best interest of the school and ensure its development
  • Adopt a constitution setting out how the SGB will operate
  • Adopt a mission statement for the school
  • Adopt a code of conduct for learners at the school which sets out disciplinary procedures
  • Help the principal, educators and other staff members to perform their professional functions
  • Decide on school policy which should include amongst others admissions, language and finance
  • Administer and control the property of the school, buildings and grounds
  • Encourage parents, learners, educators and other staff members at the school, to offer voluntary services to the school
