Gender-Based Violence is not a headline. It is the lived reality of far too many women and children in our country.
Today, our school joins South Africa in honouring survivors, remembering victims, and refusing to be silent.

May this video be more than a message.
May it be a promise: We see you. We hear you. We stand with you.

As we approach the end of another busy school year, we’d like to take a moment to recognise our incredible ground staff — the unsung heroes who work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our school clean, safe, and beautiful every day.

We’d love to show our appreciation by giving them a small year-end token of thanks, and in addition to the civvies fundraiser, are reaching out to ask for your kind support.

Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference and help us express just how valued they are. *Contribution jars are available in every register class and admin staff are also able to assist with collections at the front office*

Thank you for helping us honour the people who give so much to our school community all year round.

Our learners completed their final Spur Shadow Shift for the year on 14 October — a day filled with teamwork, learning, and laughter! 🍔✨

Throughout the year, this partnership has given learners a valuable opportunity to step out of the classroom and experience the world of work first-hand. From customer service to teamwork and communication, each shift has helped them develop important life and career skills.

We’re so proud of how they represented themselves and the school with excellence and enthusiasm.
Here’s to growth, confidence, and the exciting futures ahead! 🌟

In 2023, three of our learners began a 3-year journey to explore how engineering connects to everyday life — and today, they graduated from the General Electric Protec Next Engineers programme at Wits University 🎓

Beyond skills, they gained a vision for how their ideas can shape the world 🌍.

🌿 Planting Seeds for a Greener Tomorrow 🌿

Our learners rolled up their sleeves and took part in a meaningful tree-planting activity.

🌳✨ This initiative was more than just placing trees in the soil, it was about giving back to the environment, learning the value of sustainability, and taking responsibility for the future we want to see.

By planting trees, our learners embraced the spirit of active citizenship and volunteerism, showing that even small actions can have a lasting impact on our communities and the planet. Each tree planted today represents hope, growth, and the promise of a healthier world for generations to come. 💚
