Our school grounds were filled with big smiles, as families came together to spend meaningful time with their children. It was heartwarming to see so many moms, dads, and loved ones availing themselves to share in a day of connection and togetherness.

From conversations to delicious treats enjoyed under beautiful weather, the atmosphere was consumed with happiness. The laughter echoed through the school which reminded us of just how important family involvement are in the lives of our learners.

The pictures truly speak for themselves, capturing the joy, love, and memories created throughout the day. 📸❤️

Thank you to all our families who took the time to join us and make the day so memorable. We are grateful to have shared such a beautiful occasion with you and look forward to many more moments together as a school family.

Developing Road Safety

On 13 May 2026, our scholar patrol learners took part in training designed to build important road safety and leadership skills.

They practised safe road crossing, hand signals, and working together as a team, all under staff guidance.

The session gave learners a chance to learn by doing, helping them become more confident and aware of how to keep others safe around busy school areas.

It was an enjoyable and practical experience as they prepare to take on this important responsibility before and after school.

Exploring Length Through Play

Our Grade R learners had fun exploring the concept of length using colourful building blocks.

They worked together to build a tall tower while also comparing different objects to see which were short and which were tall.

Through hands-on play, they practised early measuring skills, made careful observations, and talked about what they were doing with one another.

The classroom was filled with energy, creativity, and plenty of proud moments during this enjoyable maths activity.

A Garden of Remembrance

Our Grade R learners have planted flowers in memory of our late Othalive Sicwetsha.

Each day, they gently water and care for the garden as a special way of remembering him and keeping his memory close to their hearts.

Through this meaningful act, they are also learning the value of kindness, care, and looking after something with love.
