Principal Ryno Rheeder introduced the NEWS to teachers and learners.
He stated their Grade One learners increased from 100 to 135 this year, prompting them to add one class.

“We had a 94% pass percentage across the schools last year and hope to improve it to 96% this year. It is key to build a partnership between the school and parents.

“We did our planning for the year last year. The learners had their books and stationery ready to learn on the first day,” said Rheeder.
For the second consecutive year, the school welcomes twins in its first grade.
