Dear Parents & Guardians

We are thrilled to officially announce the appointment of our new principal, Mrs. Esau, who will be leading our school starting October 1, 2026.

Mrs. Esau is greatly looking forward to working closely with our dedicated teachers, staff, and learners to continue building a bright future for our school.

As we enter this exciting new chapter, we also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Martin. For the past year, Mrs. Martin stepped in as our acting principal, running the school with incredible dedication and care. We thank her sincerely for her selfless service, leadership, and commitment to our community during this time.

We look forward to working together with all parents, guardians, and community members to welcome Mrs. Esau. Please join us in celebrating this new journey and offering our warmest support to Mrs. Esau!

Warm regards💐
