Pursuing excellence
The focus at this year’s event was celebrating what has been achieved during the six-year PSSP journey.
The Peermont School Support Programme (PSSP) hosted its final Pursuing Excellence Workshop on September 5.
The workshop was held for educators and pupils from the seven high schools and 18 feeder primary schools that have benefited from the R40-million PSSP programme at St John’s College in Johannesburg.
The schools included Tembisa Secondary School and Bojelong Primary School.
The focus at this year’s event was celebrating what has been achieved during the six-year PSSP journey and asking the difficult questions of how the schools involved in the initiative will continue on to 2020 and beyond without the support of the PSSP.
At the conclusion of the workshop, educators from the schools signed the paperwork to take ownership of the tablet devices, desktop computers and mobile devices, provided by the PSSP at the start of the programme in 2010.
The schools also received recognition for their part in helping the PSSP uphold its brief to develop centers of education excellence in the Ekurhuleni and Sedibeng areas.
