Learners enthusiastically participated in both reading and writing competitions, showcasing their creativity, confidence, and literacy skills. The activities encouraged learners to develop their reading habits and express themselves through writing.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the Madadeni Local Library for their support and contribution to the success of the day. We are proud of all the learners who participated and represented the school with enthusiasm and dedication.
