The national lockdown hasn’t been easy on many people, especially learners who are missing out on valuable schooling.
Technology Teacher at Dannhauser Secondary School, Ryan Naicker is hoping to keep his Grade 7 learners up to date with work, by giving them homework via the Courier’s website. Today’s lesson is on structures.
