Date: 28 February 2020 Issue no.: 7 Dear Parent It takes Earth approximately 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds, to circle once around the Sun, therefore causing the addition of an intercalary day, called a leap year, every fourth year. This matching up of the seasons to our Gregorian calendar makes us realise that nature does not listen to the laws or conventions of man, but rather that man has made rules to describe what is happening in nature. Tomorrow, 29 February, is such a special day. It is therefore only apt that we use this “bonus day” in our calendar to promote our wonderful school. Please invite family and friends to pop in and visit us at our Open Day. It promises to be an amazing opportunity to showcase our school with our incredible learners and facilities. Needless to say, we are engaging with prospective parents on various levels for this event, but most importantly, our learners will be the true marketing material for Curro Aurora. I therefore ask that you help ensure that they show up dressed neatly for the various activities on offer. We will have learners, teachers and coaches involved in academics, sport activities and cultural activities. The day promises to be jam-packed with excitement, learning and social interaction. ALUMNI If you have been with Aurora, now Curro Aurora, please send an email to
