The principal also shared that the Grade Seven learners entered this year’s Science Expo. Learners in grades six and seven attended a visual arts exhibition, while Grade Five learners made art pieces of things that can fly, which were displayed in their classrooms.
A spelling bee was also another extracurricular activity the learners participated in.
Ngwenya shared that they have also made progress on the school’s swimming pool and thus will be introducing swimming as a sport in 2027.
This will be from pre-Grade R because the school accommodates four- to five-year-old learners, all the way up to Grade Seven.
