🏆 Congratulations to Mr Tema! 🏆

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Mr Tema, who has been crowned the Best Teacher in the Bojanala District.

This remarkable achievement is a testament to his unwavering dedication, professionalism, and commitment to providing quality education to our learners.

Having emerged victorious at district level, Mr Tema is now heading to the Provincial Awards, where he will represent both Jethro Pelle Secondary School and the Bojanala District.

We wish him every success as he takes this outstanding achievement to the next level. Your hard work continues to inspire both learners and colleagues alike.

Congratulations once again, Mr Tema! We are proud of you and stand behind you all the way. 🎉👏

A heartfelt thank you to Hartbeespoort Animal Welfare Society (HAWS) for giving this beautiful girl a second chance at life.

After being abandoned, she stayed in our school yard for approximately three weeks. She looked so sad, withdrawn, and heartbroken. Our learners tried to play with her and make her feel welcome, but she wasn't interested.

Today, she has a new beginning and a new name: Daisy. ❤️

Her story is a reminder that animals feel fear, loneliness, and love just as we do. We plead with our communities to treat their animals with kindness and compassion. Abandoning an animal is an act of cruelty.

Let's be responsible pet owners. Let's protect, care for, and love our animals. Every animal deserves a safe home and a second chance.

Daisy is needing a forever home. 🙏💖🐾

To: The Parents/Guardians of Grade 12C2 Learners

Apology for Late Release of Learners due to Load Shedding

Dear Parents and Guardians

We sincerely apologize for the late release of Grade 12C2 learners from their practical class on the above mentioned date.

The learners were scheduled to finish at 15:00. However, due to unscheduled load shedding from 12:00 to 15:00, the practical session could not be completed safely or to the required standard during that time. To ensure learners did not lose critical curriculum time on their Term 2 Practicals and to prioritize their safety while waiting for power be restored, the class resumed once the electricity returned and
concluded at 17:00.

We value the trust you place in us to care for your children. I regret any disruption this caused and appreciate your understanding as we work to balance curriculum demands.

Yours faithfully,
Mr JS Tema

Our school proudly collaborated with Letlhabile SAPS, the local taxi association, and MACUE to host an Anti-Bullying Campaign on 23 April 2026. The purpose of this important initiative was to educate and empower our learners about the dangers and serious consequences of bullying.

Bullying has become a growing challenge in schools across the country, often leading to high absenteeism, emotional trauma, poor academic performance, and even suicidal cases among learners. As a school, we strongly condemn all forms of bullying, as clearly stated in our School Code of Conduct.

This awareness campaign aimed to help learners understand that bullying is not a joke, but a harmful act that can have long-lasting effects on victims and may even lead to criminal charges and imprisonment. One of our guest speakers shared his personal experience about life in jail, encouraging learners to make responsible choices and avoid actions that could destroy their future.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all stakeholders, guests, educators, and team members who played a role in making this campaign a success.

Together, let us continue to build a safe, respectful, and caring school environment.

Bullying is not good for any of us. Say NO to bullying!
