Welcome home

 

Welcome home away from home!
 

A warm welcome to JPI and a happy new learning season! As we start the new year, may I take this opportunity to thank you all for the continued support you have given us during the past year.  Our learners continued to pass their CATs as well as the end of the year examinations with distinctions not to mention the sports fetes we have participated and won in the Inter Inner City Schools competitions.

 

We are proud that the Department of Basic Education and the entire learning fraternity supports us in our endeavour to provide unique homegrown solutions to problems facing education in Gauteng today.

 

For those joining us this year, you have made the right choice. Take time to enjoy the friendship of fellow students and the support of your educators. Many learners fear asking questions but it's our culture at JPI to ask.

 

If you are contemplating joining us, you may have your fears also, what is it like being in a new school? how are the learners, educators and how is the environment?. Its Okay to ask all these questions, and I would like to advise you to come for one day orientation with no obligation at all and you won't regret it.

 

Discipline

 

I am aware of the heavy burden that our educators have to contend with in balancing discipline as well as teaching. Instilled Discipline is one of the key pillars of our education system at JPI. We are not going to relent on this and as you are aware no form of indiscipline will be tolerated whatsoever. I have already instructed the School Disciplinarian to deal firmly with anyone who breaks the school regulations. I therefore urge you to read and memorize if need be all the golden rules and regulations before embarking on your studies.

 

We have been lenient in the past on those bent to break regulations, but from this season onwards, we are not going to relent. Lateness as well as absconding classes will never be tolerated, neither perennial absenteeism without Doctors Advice notes. We must raise the standards and parents/guardians are urged to ensure that we win on this.

 

May I congratulate all the year 2010 Matriculants who made us very proud during the trial examinations, I understand the pressure you were facing given that the World Cup plus the teachers strike did not make matters any better, indeed all of you who passed made us all proud. We are looking forward to another year in a row that will prove to the doubting Thomases that JPI has come of age and we are now a force to reckon with, but more importantly that where there is a will there is a way. Indeed your success is also our success and we are proud of you. I take this opportunity to wish all the 2010 matriculants the best in their forthcoming exams. Go for the Prize and make us proud!

 

To the educators, you have the most tasking duty this year, the parents and guardians of these young leaders are at your hands, you can make them good leaders or you can do otherwise...God forbid!. But my advise is; how would you like to see the next Dr. Koffi Annan coming from your own class? I know it would be a fulfillment of a dream come true, therefore as you undertake your professional duties, remember all these students have an equal chance of being Dr. Koffi Annan. You hold their destiny in your hands, and it's your obligation and duty to not only make them good leaders of tomorrow but good citizens of the world.

 

To quote former president of South Africa- the Nobel laureate Mr. Nelson Mandela, Education still remains the single most sure way of getting out economic burden for most Africans and this year I would like to urge all our students to strive even more and achieve the highest possible grades to not only make us proud but also ensure a place for your future.

 

To 2009 matriculants we salute you for having made us proud. Your efforts made us clinch 98% pass rate, yes we could have performed better, and I hope and will work towards achieving 100% this year-with everybody's cooperation!

 

Conclusion

 

Finally once more may I take the opportunity to wish everybody a prosperous stay at JPI, one full of blessings. Remember to live by our motto, .."the spirit that never dies" may you live to say once more I will not die... I shall live by the Grace of God...

God Bless.
