🌍 OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT 🌍

We are proud to announce that one of our very own learners, Josh Lance Lemmetjies, has officially launched his campaign for Junior City Council (JCC) Mayor of Cape Town.

This is a significant milestone, not only for Josh, but for our entire school community. His campaign is built on a vision of leadership, innovation, and meaningful impact within the city and among young people.

While the official voting process lies with the JCC councillors, this moment represents something bigger — a learner stepping forward to lead, to serve, and to represent the voice of youth at a city level.

👏 We celebrate this bold step and wish him strength and success on his journey.
