Baysville School of Skills

A massive congratulations to our very own Mr. Sandow for completing his very first Comrades Marathon! 🇿🇦✨
​Tackling the ultimate human race takes immense grit, determination, and months of hard training, and Mr. Sandow showed us all exactly what it means to persevere. You are a true inspiration to our learners and staff alike!

🎉 Congratulations! 🎉

We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Mrs Janeke Hunt on her appointment as coach of the LSEN Netball Team, and to Mrs Saskia van Vuuren on her appointment as team manager. We would also like to congratulate Onwabe Yambata, whose hard work and dedication have earned her a place in the LSEN Netball Team that will proudly represent the Eastern Cape at the National School Championships in Boksburg from 27 June to 3 July.

This past weekend, they attended their first training camp in Queenstown. Despite the freezing temperatures and icy fingers, it was a productive and successful weekend filled with valuable training and team-building opportunities.

The team will attend their final training camp from 25–27 June before departing for the championships.

We are incredibly proud of your achievements and dedication. We wish you every success as you continue your preparations and represent the Eastern Cape on the national stage.

“Success is where preparation and opportunity meet.” – Bobby Unser

Good luck, and enjoy every moment of this exciting journey! 🏐💙

Dear Parents and Guardians

Please take note of the letters below regarding the closure of school as per instruction from the Department of Education.

In the Arts and Crafts Workshop learners do a wide variety of crafts. These mini serving platters, wall art and vintage print transfers on wood were done by the Year 3 learners.

As promised....the Year 4 Arts and Crafts Workshop proudly presents their first batch of ceramics, fired in the school's very own kiln! This opens up a whole new opportunity for learners at Baysville School of Skills. Upwards and onwards from here!

An amazing Water Cycle project created by Tyrelle Cox from Year 3 in Mr. Esben's Natural Science class.

On Tuesday, our Flow Arts learners had the privilege of going to The Guild Theatre to watch the wonderfully produced "Thabo, The Space Dude" based off of Lori- Anne Preston's book and produced by Jen Bryson Moorcraft. This was an exciting opportunity for our learners, who loved being immersed in this show. So much fun was had by all!

History in the making... the year 4 Arts and Crafts workshop learners were the first to do ceramics on site at Baysville School of Skills! The excitement was real when we packed "Pixie" this morning. She will be fired on Tuesday and their finished ceramics will be revealed on Thursday. We have included a sneak preview of some "before photo's" of the ceramics done by these talented learners...we are all very excited to see the final products!
