We are almost at the end of our "Get to know our staff series", but we still have 3 wonderful staff to showcase.

🎭 A Celebration of Arts, Culture and Storytelling! 🇿🇦

Our Grade 4–6 learners were thrilled to be invited to the Red Mango Arts Festival at Sastri College, where they enjoyed a wonderful celebration of South African theatre, music, dance and storytelling.

Through the performances Sathandwa and Umlilo, our learners were encouraged to see the world through different perspectives and reflect on themes of identity, belonging, courage, community and empathy.

It was a fantastic opportunity for our children to experience the power of live theatre and to be reminded that learning happens far beyond the classroom.

A huge thank you to Sastri College for the invitation and for creating such a meaningful and vibrant experience for our students.

Our next staff member on our "Get to know our staff" series is Mr Buck. Mr Buck is not only the Grade 6 teacher, but is also in charge of our safety and security portfolio.

Today, we honour the remarkable women who came before us. Those who dared to dream bigger, stood stronger, spoke louder, and paved the way for the generations that followed. Their courage, resilience, and unwavering determination continue to inspire us to lead with confidence, lift others up, and raise a new generation of girls who know their worth.

Happy Women's Day to every woman making a difference, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

💙💛

🎈Happy birthday, Ms Mbelu 🥳
