FROM RIDGEVIEW TO BAYANA BAYANA! 🇿🇦⚽💛

Ridgeview Primary is bursting with pride!

We are thrilled to congratulate our former learner, Lunathi Mgibe, on her incredible selection to the South African U/15 National Soccer Team!

To see a young girl who once wore the Ridgeview uniform now wearing the green and gold of South Africa is truly inspiring. Your hard work, dedication, and talent have paid off, Lunathi!

We are all behind you as you represent our country in the COSAFA Games. We wish you all the best, safe travels, and lots of goals!

Ridgeview will always be proud of you. You are an inspiration to every young girl on our soccer field dreaming big.

Go shine, our star!

A Heartfelt THANK YOU! 🌱🍋💙

Ridgeview Primary would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to an anonymous donor for blessing us with our very first fruit tree as part of our Garden Project!

This beautiful granadilla tree marks the beginning of an exciting journey for our school - teaching our learners about growth, sustainability, caring for the environment, and the joy of watching something grow from the soil.

Christiano Booysen and Jayden Windvogel, with the help of the school custodian, Mr A Cupido, proudly planted it, and we will nurture it together as a Ridgeview family. One day, we hope to enjoy its fruit and share the harvest!

To our anonymous donor - thank you for planting a seed of hope and generosity in our school. Your kindness will grow with this tree for years to come.

Also thank you to Mrs J Marthinus for the initiative. We are so blessed to have you!

Our Acting principal, Mr P Neethling also shared this special moment with our Skills Center learners. 💚

We truly appreciate you!

LET'S SPREAD CHRISTMAS JOY! 🎄🎁❤️

Ridgeview Primary is calling on our wonderful community to support the Mossel Bay Care Centre Christmas Shoe Box Project!

Now it's our turn to give back and help make another child happy this Christmas!

3 WAYS YOU CAN GET INVOLVED:

🎁 SPEND R250 per child - Fill a box with love and gifts.
❤️ GIVE US THE MONEY and they will fill the box for you.
📦 OR YOU CAN FILL IT YOURSELF - Every box makes a big difference!

A little love goes a long way - with toys, toiletries, crayons and essentials, we can make a child's Christmas unforgettable.

Let's show the true Ridgeview spirit of caring and giving!
