🌟 AN UNFORGETTABLE GRADE 7 ENTREPRENEURS DAY! 🌟

A massive THANK YOU to our incredible parents and guardians!

Our Grade 7 Entrepreneurs Day was a huge success, and we could not have done it without your phenomenal support. From helping your children prepare their stalls to providing stock, and sending them off with spending money, your dedication truly made the day unforgettable.Because of you, our young entrepreneurs didn't just sell products—they learned invaluable real-world lessons about teamwork, finance, and resilience.

📸 Highlights of the Day

Brilliant Innovation: Our learners displayed incredible creativity with their handmade crafts, delicious food stalls, and fun games.

Buzzing Atmosphere: The school grounds were alive with laughter, negotiation, and pure excitement.

Community Spirit: Seeing our school community come together to support our future leaders was the ultimate highlight.

To our Grade 7s:
We are so incredibly proud of your hard work, bright ideas, and professional attitudes. You showed us exactly what it means to strive for excellence!

Thank you once again, Rufane Donkin families, for always partnering with us to inspire our learners to be the best they can be. Your support is our greatest strength.

📢 ATTENTION PARENTS: Grade R Registration for 2027 is Now OPEN! 📢

Secure your child’s spot for the 2027 academic year. Don't wait until the last minute—spaces fill up fast!⚖️

Why This Year is Different: The BELA Act

Under the Basic Education Laws Amendment (BELA) Act, Grade R is now officially compulsory across South Africa.

The Act states:

"School attendance is compulsory from Grade R at age six and no longer only from Grade 1..."

“By law, parents/guardians must ensure their children attend school during this period. Non-compliance... may lead to penalties.”

Because of this legal requirement, enrolling your child on time is more critical than ever to ensure they are formally registered within the system.

🎒 Who Needs to Register?

Any child turning six years old in 2027 (born in 2021).

📝 Documents Required for Application

Please bring along certified copies of the following:

* Learner’s Birth Certificate
* Parents' ID documents
* Proof of residence (e.g., municipal rates account or lease agreement)
* Learner’s Immunisation/Clinic Card

Give your child the right foundation for their educational journey! 🌟
