Looking forward to Grade 8
Princess Primary School Grade 7s share their primary school journey and are looking forward to high school.
As the curtains close on their primary school journey, Grade Seven learners at Princess Primary take a moment to reflect on the memories, milestones and lessons learned over the past seven years.
From their first tentative steps into the classroom to their current status as confident, curious, and compassionate individuals, these young scholars have grown and evolved in countless ways.
As they prepare to embark on a new chapter in their educational journey, they are filled with excitement, anticipation and a sense of purpose. With their sights set on secondary school, they are eager to explore new opportunities, challenges, and experiences that will shape their future.
Letlotlo Maluke says her seven years in primary school weren’t the best, but she enjoyed every moment of it. She says her teachers taught her a lot when it comes to discipline and leadership.
“As head girl, the pressure came from everywhere, but it shaped who I am today. I am looking forward to high school, and I am hoping to join sports activities like volleyball and debating. I’m hoping that I can secure a scholarship for my studies,” she says.
Themba Dladla says, “My primary school years made me discover a lot of things about myself and other people as well. My leadership position taught me how to collaborate with others and make a significant difference. Going into Grade Eight, I’m hoping that I can play chess, debate, and get stellar marks throughout,” he said.
Tshanduko Murulana says when she started primary school she struggled a lot with confidence and she felt invisible at points. However, after being selected to be the deputy head girl, she started feeling more confident.
“For Grade Eight, I’m hoping that I maintain my overachiever status and maybe along the way secure a bursary that would help my family,” she adds.
Samkelo Tshabalala: “In primary school, I learned to work hard, and I understood that not everything can be handed to you on a silver platter. I’m a big soccer fan, and I am hoping that in high school I make the first team. I will also try swimming and basketball,” he says.
