1. As you may be aware, circulars and minutes are sent out in e-mail format, but schools without e-mail facilities are provided with hard copies. Should circulars and minutes have attachments that cannot be sent via e-mail, hard copies will be made available.
2. In response to the escalating cost of dispatching an increasing volume of paper- based post from Head Office, this directorate issued, to all chief directors and directors on 17 November 1998, a notice on the following cost-saving measures, which are still applicable.
2.1 Ordinary mail will be dispatched by Registry only on Thursdays.
2.2 Hard-copy circulars and minutes will be dispatched to schools every third Thursday, unless it is certified at director level that the circular or minute contains a due date and has to be posted as soon as possible. Should a circular or minute have to be dispatched before the usual post date, the directorate concerned will be responsible for paying the postage.
3. The dates on which hard copies of circulars and minutes will be dispatched during 2007 are as follows: 
11 January 2007    28 June 2007
 1 February 2007   19 July 2007
22 February 2007    8 August 2007
