B.J. Mnyanda Public Primary School

Parents and guardians please take note!!

Our Under-9 Rugby Team attended a coaching clinic hosted by Get into Rugby, the official World Rugby grassroots development programme, that introduces young people to the sport in a safe, fun, and progressive way.
Despite the chilly weather, our young rugby stars thoroughly enjoyed the experience, learning new skills and interacting with Springbok players who inspired them both on and off the field. The smiles on their faces and the enthusiasm they displayed throughout the day were truly heartwarming.

We also acknowledge our Principal, Mr Lukasi, whose unwavering support and advocacy for learner participation in sport continue to create opportunities such as these. His belief in the value of sport as a tool for holistic learner development remains an inspiration to our school community.

Well done to our Under-9 team for representing our school with pride and enthusiasm!

Our Grade R and Grade 1 learners took centre stage during this morning's assembly as they presented a touching tribute to the heroes of the 1976 Student Uprising.
They also delighted the audience with energetic dances to music from Sarafina!, bringing to life the spirit of resilience and unity that defined that historic struggle. As part of the event Principal Mr Lukasi lead from the front chanting slogans that were used for political revolution during those times
The presentation was witnessed by staff, fellow learners, and our special guests from the New Brighton SAPS and the New Brighton CPF.

We wish to the Grades R and 1 teachers who took time to prepare the learners.

The school proudly congratulates three of our talented learners, Luniko Soya, Cwagco Lose, and Kungawo Mazeka, who have been selected to represent the Nelson Mandela Bay District at the Eastern Cape Provincial Inter-District Cross Country Championships taking place in KuGompo City this weekend.

During this morning's assembly, Principal, Mr Simphiwe Lukasi proudly paraded the young athletes before their fellow learners and staff, acknowledging their hard work, dedication, and outstanding achievement in earning provincial selection.

The learners will be accompanied by their coach, Miss Patiwe Gubevu, whose commitment and guidance have played a significant role in their success.

We are immensely proud of these young ambassadors. We wish them every success as they compete against the best athletes from across the province. May they run with confidence, determination, and pride while representing both our school and the Nelson Mandela Bay District.

Safe travels, boys, and all the best for the championships! We are behind you all the way!

Thank you Minister for this initiative 🙏 👏

It’s time for community to join hands with police to take back our schools EDITORIAL | Schools should be sanctuaries of learning, not an environment in which pupils are exposed to drugs and criminal influence.

Today, the staff enjoyed a warm welcoming luncheon in honour of Ms. Zukiswa Dodi, who recently joined our teaching staff. This cherished tradition hosted by Principal Mr Lukasi, serves as an official welcome and also an opportunity for colleagues, to share experiences, and embrace new team members into the BJ Mnyanda family.
We extend our heartfelt welcome to Ms. Dodi and wish her a fulfilling and successful journey with us as we continue working together to provide quality education for our learners.
Welcome to the team, Ms. Dodi.We are delighted to have you with us❗️
