The Directorate: Institutional Management and Governance Planning (IMGP) was responsible for organising the Representative Council of Learners (RCL) Conference held on 19 July 2008. IMGP wishes to express its sincere appreciation to those RCL learners, educators and officials who attended the conference and made it such a rewarding experience. |
| 2. |
At the conference, the Directorate: IMGP undertook to make the documents on the topics that were presented available to all schools and RCLs. |
| 3. |
These documents, plus some additional information, have been compiled into files and will be distributed to all schools early in 2009. Additional topics may be added to these reference files in future and topics updated as required. |
| 4. |
The reference files are for use by both the school and the RCL learners and should be kept at the school. When somebody borrows the file for reference purposes, a record must be kept of the name of the person borrowing the file, the date on which the file was borrowed and the borrower's signature. When the borrower returns the file, the principal or TLO must sign for receipt of the file in the register. |
| 5. |
The files currently contain only English versions of the documents. However, the documents are currently being translated into Afrikaans and Xhosa, and these translations will be distributed at a later date. Each school will thus have an English version and a second version in the official language of its choice. |
| 6. |
Schools are therefore requested to complete and return the form attached to this minute before 14 November 2008 to indicate in which language they wish to receive the second file. Please fax the completed form to Mr Ryan Erasmus, Directorate: IMGP at fax no. 021 467 9385. |
| 7. |
The second file will be dispatched on receipt of the completed request form. |

Your co-operation will be appreciated. |
