Curro Krugersdorp Primary School in Rangeview, like many others, welcomed parents and, more importantly their VIPs – the 2023 Grade 1 learners – on Tuesday morning, January 10.

Dineo Masoeu added that she is excited to be in Grade 1 because her mom bought her stationary and is something she wants to try out while Ammara Durrel is mostly excited to meet teachers and play with friends.
