POLOKWANE – Flora Park Comprehensive High School teachers held their farewell function at St Marco Estate on November 29, to celebrate the hard work they put in throughout the year.

Finance officer Lebo Moabelo thanked the school for all it has done.

“Flora Park gave me a job I thought was above my abilities, but today I can stand on my own and run the office because of their leadership. Thank you so much Flora Park, you will always be my family even when I’m not around, and thank you for the present that you all gave me,” said Moabelo.

Principal Joseph Masekela highlighted all the successes they achieved at Flora Park, to remind the teachers that their hard finally paid off.

Certificates were awarded to some teachers for the role they played throughout the year and making sure that their learners obtained high marks, and all the teachers were given coffee mugs as a gesture of appreciation.
