“Our day is running smoothly, our teachers and students are ready for the year ahead,” said Sunnyridge Primary School principal Marianna Odendaal.
The school, like many, opened its doors, on Wednesday, welcoming a new year of Grade Ones.
“We have a lot of students but are able to cope with the numbers,” Odendaal said.
The only problem the school had to deal with was the unexpected arrival of children from different schools, “There was a mix-up with their transport and they were mistakenly dropped off at our school but we made arrangements to take them to their own schools,” Odendaal explained.
To remember their first day of school the Grade Ones had professional school photos taken before they began their day in class.
