Fulton School for the Deaf

🇿🇦 Youth Day 2026 | Fulton School for the Deaf

Today, we honour the brave young people of 16 June 1976 whose courage and determination helped shape the South Africa we know today.

As we commemorate Youth Day, we remember that every young person has the power to inspire change, break barriers, and build a brighter future. At Fulton School for the Deaf, we celebrate the resilience, talent, leadership, and achievements of our learners who continue to prove that no challenge is greater than the strength of the human spirit.

May we never forget the sacrifices made by the youth of the past, and may we continue to empower the youth of today through education, opportunity, and inclusion.

"The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow." – Nelson Mandela

Happy Youth Day from all of us at Fulton School for the Deaf.

Remember. Honour. Inspire.
Our Future. Our Voice. Our Time. 🇿🇦

Good luck to Bafana Bafana as you represent South Africa on the world stage. 🇿🇦⚽

From all the learners, staff and families at Fulton School for the Deaf – we are proudly behind you every step of the way.

Play with heart. Play with pride. Make South Africa proud.

Part 2
Youth Day 2026 – Celebrating the People Who Inspire Us

In commemoration of Youth Day, our learners stepped into the shoes of their role models, and what a heartwarming sight it was! ❤️

We were incredibly proud to see so many learners choosing to honour the everyday heroes in their lives — our teachers, house parents, cleaning and maintenance staff, as well as their moms, dads, grandparents, and family members. It was a beautiful reminder that true role models are often the people who guide, support, and inspire us every day.

Our staff joined in the fun, too, embracing their youthful spirit and adding to the excitement of the day! 🎉

From creative costumes to outstanding performances, our singing and dancing superstars lit up the stage and showcased their incredible talents. The day was filled with laughter, creativity, inspiration, and Fulton family spirit.

Thank you to everyone who made this celebration so memorable. Here's to our youth, their dreams, and the remarkable people they look up to! ✨

Keeping Emraan in Our Thoughts and Prayers

Emraan, we want you to know that your Fulton family is standing beside you during this challenging time. We are praying for your strength, healing, and a full recovery. Your courage and determination inspire us, and we look forward to seeing your smile back at school when you are ready.

To the Pillay family, please know that you are not facing this journey alone. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and we hope that you find comfort, strength, and peace in the love and support surrounding you.

What an incredible way to start the week at Fulton School for the Deaf! 🎉

Today, representatives from Sunlight visited our school to officially hand over an amazing R100 000 prize to Fulton School for the Deaf, as well as R35 000 prize money to the learners who participated in the Raise the Bar Challenge!

A HUGE and heartfelt thank you goes to our incredible educator, Pinky Rapoo, for spotting the competition opportunity, purchasing the soap, and bringing this entire dance challenge to life. Your dedication, enthusiasm, and belief in our learners made this moment possible.

Special congratulations to our dancing stars:

You made us so proud with your energy, talent, and teamwork!

The excitement around school today has been absolutely unforgettable — safe to say concentration levels are VERY low this morning because everyone is still celebrating! 😄

We are beyond grateful to for seeing and recognising the talent, spirit, and potential within our school community. Thank you for this incredible opportunity and for investing in our learners and school.

✨ The excitement is officially in the air at Fulton School for the Deaf!

Today, our school leavers — Grade 12, Technical Occupation, and SID learners — received their official Farewell Dance invitations, marking the beginning of a truly special countdown.

To make this memorable moment even sweeter, Pedros generously sponsored a delicious lunch for our learners.
Thank you, Lushen Moodley of Pedros, South Beach. Words cannot fully express our gratitude for your kindness and support. Thank you for helping us celebrate such an important milestone in our learners’ lives.

The joy, excitement, and smiles on our learners’ faces as they opened their invitations were absolutely priceless!

And now… the countdown officially begins — just 35 days to go until our learners step out in their finest outfits and dancing shoes for a magical evening to remember. ✨👠🤵

We are filled with anticipation and cannot wait to celebrate this unforgettable occasion together! 🎉
