The little graduates shined bright as they received their certificates for their hard work and growth throughout year. Teachers were emotional and advised the little ones to take their energy and braveness into Grade 1 in 2025. They also urged them to come back and show off their ‘big school’ uniforms to their teachers.
Head of Grade R Sara Louw explained that the day was a huge success, and they were proud of the hard work the Grade Rs have put in this year. “The graduation is a culmination of a years’ worth of hard work, and we’re all very excited. It is such an emotional day, to a point where we can’t hold the mic. We shiver and shake on stage and try to hold the tears back. It’s an incredible and emotional day because we work hard with them the whole year, then we have to let them go. We wish we could keep them, or go with them, but we cannot.”
She added that they have been planning and looking forward to the day since the term started. “We wanted it to be special for parents. They have to sit there and look at their children and see the future doctors, lawyers, explorers, and so on, so, it’s a very important and special day for everyone.”
