Drakensberg Primary School pupils are determined to seize every opportunity available to them, regardless if it be raising a bird or taking part in science projects.
The school’s Grade 7s recently did their technology project, “jaws of life”, as a group in the school hall. Guided by their technology teacher, Louis Pretorius, the results were amazing.
While the Grade 7s occupied themselves with their technology project, Teriska Knepscheld found a very small dove chick and decided to keep it and raise it. Like a caring mom, she brought him to school and kept on with the 3 hourly feedings. With lots of patience and endurance this little dove is still healthy and growing.
From academics to raising birds, Drakensberg Primary pupils continued with their excellence after a handful of youngsters were chosen to participate in the Amajuba District rugby team.
Continuing Drakensberg Primary’s success on the sports grounds, Siphumelele Mazibuko was selected to participate in the Amajuba District under 12 girls netball team.
Before the school holidays, pupils took part in an Easter programme which included singing and dancing. The programme was met with enthusiasm as children participated in the event.
