Deur Tasmin Cupido 25 Januarie 2021 06:12 False Bay High School principal Herman Janse van Rensburg said the school’s academic programme will be in full swing on Monday 1 February, albeit via online platforms. “The well-being and academic development of our learners is very important to us. We have noticed that the number of Covid-19 infections have dropped, but for the safety of our students and staff we have decided to host registration, administration and orientation days for our learners so that we can commence with a distance learning programme. We want to ensure learners don’t miss out on their academic programme and have an obligation to support them best we can under the current circumstances. Normal classes will resume on Wednesday 15 February.”

Despite the continuous dumping of babies and growing concern over increased risk with lockdown pressures, a local community suffers the loss of a safer option to discard an unwanted baby.
The Grabouw Baby Saver, which offered pregnant women in crisis a means of safe abandonment and their newborns a chance at life, was closed permanently last October.
The Overberg addition situated at Lighthouse Mission Educare was similar in concept to the successful Helderberg Baby Saver, a safe shielded from the elements and electronically rigged to trigger an emergency response should a baby be placed inside it. The Grabouw Baby Saver was operated by a resident and temporary safe care mother, Angela Burgess.
