, we have creative boffins aching to conquer the world. Well done on winning the 2nd place in the eWASA & WESSA SA Schools Waste Management and Education Project Awards Ceremony was held on Saturday, 9th November 2024!

Yaaay ku busy, sphithi phithi everywhere with exams and time had to be spared for creativity in the name of saving our planet. So the EWASA & WESSA SA Schools Waste Management is dedicated to advocating for sustainable solutions, conservation, championing policy initiatives, and promoting environmental awareness that leads to a healthier planet. This endeavour aims to establish robust collaborations and provide support for waste management initiatives and recycling depots at the school level.

The eWASA & WESSA SA Schools Waste Management and Education Project Awards Ceremony was held on Saturday, 9th November.at J&J Conferences, Belmont Square to celebrate and recognize the outstanding efforts in promoting environmental sustainability by our learners. Look at what they created, I tell you, they might be commissioned to design a recycled space ship to MARS!

The ceremony was a tribute to the Eco-Club's hard work and positive influence. At Bulumko, excellence rules, our soon to be environmentalists, accompanied by Ms Mbinda and Ms Dlephu, came second and brought home a BRONZE nton nton. Our learners are truly gifted guys and they are destined for major success.

On Friday, 18 October 2024, the Class of 2024 had their Valedictory ceremony which was held at the school hall. The hall was decorated in a very beautiful manner fit for international awards. This event was a poignant moment of joy and pride and all elements were there; beautiful musical interludes from the school music choir, keynote address from the Deputy Principal, Mr Blayi, blessings and annointing from the Pastors and much more.

A “Guard of Honour” (more like singing, ululating and alles) made up of the teachers and Grade 12 learners clad with their Graduation garbs was absolutely amazing.

Ngaphu Lisakhanya scooped the 1st overall position (Gold), Mabhoko Nande achieved 2nd overall position (Silver) and Makwela Siyabonga took the 3rd overall position (Bronze) in Grade 12 Term 3.

Furthermore, Ngaphu Lisakhanya is the Top Learner in Term 3 in Humanities; Mabhoko Nande - Top earner in Term 3 in Sciences and Sijadu Lukhanyo - Top Learner in Term 3 in Commerce.

For Grade 11 in Term 3, Gwazela Anovuyo - Top Learner in Humanities; Ndabeni Khanya - Top Learner in Commerce and Chirindza Chris- Top Learner in Sciences.

These learners have demonstrated that excellence is truly a core value that focuses on achieving the highest possible standards of performance and quality. We also applaud learners who obtained distinctions and meritorious achievement in various subjects, keep up the excellent work!

It was a beautiful ceremony which certainly lifted everyone’s spirit, from the parents to the learners and teachers. Kudos to the organising team who pulled all the stops in ensuring that the Valedictory was a success;!Ms Dlephu, Ms Matinise, Ms Tomose, Ms Mbinda, Ms Notshe, Ms Bomvu.

Our new uniform is a symbol of pride and honor, creating a distinct identity that reflects our unique style and values. At Bulumko, we pride ourselves with modernity and style. Our learners are very proud of their uniform which is all about excellence!

On Sat, 21 September 2024, our Bulumko environmental club went on a river clean up at Rondebosch. They understand that every citizen has a role to play in protecting the environment from pollution. We need to eradicate litter and avoid irresponsible waste disposal practices immediately. Go Bulumko citizens Go!

@ Bulumko we certainly are not taking eyesight for granted and the importance of looking after our learners’ eyes cannot be understated. We are aware of the everyday habits that are hurting the learners’ vision as most of the learning occurs through the visual system, making it an essential component of our learners’ ability to learn successfully.

On Thursday, 25 July 2024, we had learners’ eye care program which aimed to detect visual problems. This causes poor focusing and eye teaming abilities that lead to symptoms such as lack of concentration, headaches and unwillingness to read.

These symptoms interfere with our learners’ learning process at school. The learners who participated in the program got their eyes tested and those who require glasses will be provided to them.
