All students enrolled at King David High School Victory Park are expected to attend regular classes and normal school activities including assemblies, co-curricular activities and ex- cursions. Parents who have children who are absent on any occasion are required to call the school or send a note or an email to the relevant Grade Head explaining the absence.
GRADE HEADS
Grade 12 Mr Andrew Murewa
Grade 11 Mrs Siobhan Glanvill-Miller
Grade 10 Mr George Morfis
Grade 9 Mrs Ntombi Mota
Grade 8 Mr Danie Botes
Regular or unusual patterns of absenteeism are followed up by the Grade Head. Requests for extended leave must be submitted in writing to the Headmaster.
All students must arrive before the start of the 07:45 lesson and must proceed to their first lesson of the day. It is essential that students arrive on time for the first lesson. If a student arrives at school late and is not registered in the early morning, he/she will be marked absent. If a student arrives later in the day, he/she must go past Mrs Andrea Kattan in reception to be registered
Mrs Kattan will then give the student a Late Slip which must be given to the teacher of the lesson the student goes to first. Should a student wish to leave school early for any reason, he/she must obtain an Exeat form from the Front Office. If an appointment has been made for the school day, an email must be sent to the Grade Head indicating the date and time of the appointment.
PLEASE NOTE: No student will be signed out without this information Either the Deputy Head or The Director of Operations will sign the student’s Exeat Slip with the attached documentation as proof before leaving.
Students may NOT use cellphones during class time, assemblies, shul or meetings
Only with the express permission and instruction from a teacher, students might then be able to make use of their cellphones in lessons for educational purposes 3 Parents are asked not to phone or SMS their children during the school day
Emergency calls can be made at the office and will be relayed to your child within minutes
The school uniform is important in conveying the image, both inside and outside of the school King David has an extremely neat and smart looking uniform which demonstrates the pride we should all have in our school We know you, as parents, share this pride and we therefore would like to encourage your full co-operation in ensuring that your children arrive at school correctly dressed
Please take note of the following:
Prayers: As prayers form an integral part of the school’s ethos, it is important for students to have the correct uniform for prayers. Boys and girls are required to have their own Siddur for prayers at all times. In addition, boys are required to have Kip- pot and Tefillin at school every day.
Blazers: In the hot summer months the blazer need not be worn, except for formal occasions and when leaving the school premises on excursions. Assemblies are considered formal occasions and happen once a week on Fridays. It is compulsory that all students wear their blazers to assembly as it is a formal school gathering.
Shirts: King David has a formal school shirt. The white short-sleeve shirt must be worn in summer and the white long sleeve shirt must be worn in winter. In the case of the boys, a tie is to be worn with the long sleeve shirt. Shirts must be tucked in at all times. During winter, a plain white T-shirt may be worn under the shirt, however long-sleeved T-shirts may NOT be worn under short-sleeved shirts. Girls are not per- mitted to wear black or coloured underwear which is visible through the school shirt.
Jerseys and tops: Only the regulation school jersey may be worn. This is the black jersey with the blue and white edging. King David "hoodies” and King David tracksuit jackets are allowed. No other hoodies/jerseys are permitted. Matric students are permitted to wear their matric tops as part of the uniform. During winter months, permission is given to wear a navy or black puffer jacket.
Skirts: Girls are to wear the sky-blue official King David skirt of appropriate length. It is not permitted for the girls to roll up the skirts to make them appear shorter
Trousers: Boys are to wear the standard grey long flannel trousers when coming to school They must also wear a black belt with the trousers
Shoes: Boys have to wear black leather lace-up school shoes, and girls have a choice of black leather lace-up school shoes or school shoes with a bar No other shoes are ac- ceptable Students with severe orthopaedic problems who cannot wear traditional school shoes will be given permission to wear alternative footwear provided a letter from a med- ical practitioner is made available to the school In this case, the alternative footwear must be as modest as possible
Socks/Stockings: Boys must wear grey socks, and girls white socks or, in the winter months, black tights may be worn.
Tracksuits: Tracksuits are not part of the day-to-day school uniform and thus not per- mitted to be worn. Permission can be given to wear the tracksuit in certain circumstances when certain sports events require students to leave either slightly early or straight after school. Students may change at 2nd break into their sports kit and covered with a tracksuit. Certain circumstances surrounding Phys Ed taking place during the Life Orientation period also permits the tracksuit to be worn, but only if that period happens to be during period 1. In the case of Grade 12s doing Phys Ed during the Prayer period, then the tracksuit may be worn to school In both cases, students are required to change into full school uniform after the activity
Hair: Hairstyles must be neat and appropriate for both boys and girls
With respect to boys - hair needs to be cut in an acceptable style where the length is such that it is off the ears as well as the collar at the neck
With respect to girls – if the hair length is beyond the shoulders, then it is expected to be neatly tied up Hair is also expected to be out of the face
Shaving: Boys are expected to be clean shaven at all times Special dispensation will be given to boys for religious reasons as well as over periods of mourning
Make-up and nail polish: Girls are not permitted to wear make-up Coloured nail polish is not allowed
Jewellery: Jewellery is limited to one sleeper or plain stud in the lobe of each ear for girls. Boys may not wear earrings. Nose studs/nose rings are strictly forbidden as are studs in eyebrows, tongues or any other facial piercing (except as described for the ears). The covering of a piercing with plaster is also not permitted. Students may wear one small Chai or Magen David inside their shirts. No bracelets, other than medic-alert bracelets may be worn. No rings on fingers are to be worn.
Tattoos: No visible tattoos, permanent or non-permanent, are permitted.
Regular communication with parents is vital, and as part of this process a newsletter is distributed by e-mail every Friday. The newsletter provides information of a general na- ture, but also informs parents of the academic, sporting, and cultural events in the week ahead. Kindly ensure that the office has your current e-mail address.
The new Academic Support Timetable for Term 1 has been issued. All Grade 8 - 12 students are encouraged to make appointments to meet their teachers online should they need additional support. These sessions will be appointment-based at a time that is convenient for both teacher and student.
Assessments are a vital component of the school’s educational philosophy. Regular testing of smaller sections of work has proven beneficial in preparing students for mid-year and final examinations.
Further class tests are scheduled throughout the term, and these dates will be published in the Term Calendar. Any student who is absent for a Standarised Test must please inform the school as soon as possible. The student is expected to liaise with the subject teacher concerned to set an alternative date for the test.

The minimum admission requirement for the Bachelor’s degree is a National Senior Certificate (NSC) with an achievement rating of 4 (Adequate Achievement, 50 - 59 %) or better in four subjects chosen from a designated list of subjects.
The percentages achieved in National Senior Certificate examinations will be allocated an admission score equal to that percentage.
The sum of six subjects, excluding Life Orientation, but including English and any required subject(s), for the relevant programme, is considered when deciding on admission.
Results below 40% for any subject do not attract a score.
In the faculties of Engineering & the Built Environment, and Health Sciences, the NBT score forms part of the APS.
In the Faculties of Engineering & the Built Environment and Science, the Mathematics Paper 3 contributes to the APS
In order to apply for a Bachelor Degree, the minimum admission requirement is a National Senior Certificate (NSC), as well as the minimum requirements for the relevant programme.
