“We want our parents to know that we value education and your children very much. We opened two days before getting everything prepared for your arrival. I hope that you’ve had a good rest and are ready for this year,” said principal Martha Gladwin.
President of the local NGO, Kool 2B South African’s Khaya “Kool” Seoketsa also attended and delivered a passionate presentation to the young ones on their role in society and their responsibilities.
