📚✨ CELEBRATING ONE OF OUR VERY OWN YOUNG AUTHORS! ✨📚

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Shristi Ashmaya, a Gr 9 learner at Sanprè Academy, who is making her mark as a young author with the launch of her debut novel, "The Girl in the Mirror".

At just 15 years old, Shristi has turned her passion for storytelling into a published novel (her 2nd published novel) — an achievement that deserves to be celebrated! 🌟

"The Girl in the Mirror" is a thought-provoking "psychological fiction" that explores themes of identity, self-discovery, resilience and the courage it takes to face life’s challenges.

The story follows a young girl on a journey of change as she searches for peace, discovers more about herself and learns to confront difficult truths. Through her writing, Shristi hopes to inspire young readers to believe in themselves, embrace their individuality and never give up on their dreams.

🌟 A YOUNG AUTHOR WITH A BIG DREAM

Shristi’s achievement is a wonderful reminder that age is never a barrier to pursuing your dreams. Her creativity, determination and love for literature have allowed her to take an incredible first step in what we hope will be a long and successful literary journey.

As Sanprè Academy, we are passionate about nurturing the unique talents and dreams of our learners, and it fills us with immense pride to see one of our own taking her creativity beyond the classroom and sharing her voice with the world. 💚

📖 THE GIRL IN THE MIRROR IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE!

67 Minutes. Countless Smiles. One Community. 💚💛

This Mandela Day, our SANPRÈ Academy learners had the privilege of visiting Golden Steps School to share a simple meal, laughter, and meaningful moments with their learners.

What began as an act of service became a beautiful reminder that kindness has no boundaries and that inclusion is about building friendships, celebrating differences, and recognising that we are all part of one community.

We are incredibly proud of our learners for embracing the true spirit of Mandela Day through compassion, respect, and generosity.

A heartfelt thank you to Mr N. Kathuravaloo, the staff, and the wonderful learners of Golden Steps School for welcoming us so warmly. We hope this is the beginning of many more opportunities to learn, grow, and celebrate together.

✨ What an incredible start to Term 3! ✨

Can you believe our first week is already over? Time certainly flies when you're having fun! It already feels like we've been back together for much longer, and that's a true reflection of the energy, excitement, and enthusiasm that has filled our campus from day one.

We kicked off the term by giving our learners a warm Sanprè Academy welcome, followed by a special assembly where we celebrated the outstanding achievements of both our learners and staff during the holidays.

👏 A huge congratulations to Ms. Mlambo on the launch of her very own published book – an incredible achievement that has inspired our entire school community!

🌟 We also celebrated Saihaan Gokul, our very own celebrity, who proudly represented us at the National Mr. Teen Bollywood competition and returned home wearing a prestigious winning sash. We are immensely proud of you!

⚽ Of course, no Sanprè Academy celebration would be complete without recognising our talented football stars! Our Sanprè Academy FIFA World Cup was a huge success, with learners from Grade 000 right through to Grade 11 showcasing fantastic teamwork, determination, sportsmanship, and skill. Every match was filled with excitement, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

As we settle into the new term, we are refreshed, motivated, and ready to embrace every opportunity that lies ahead. Term 3 promises to be one of our most exciting yet... especially with a very special surprise event planned for the end of the term!✨

Here's to another term of learning, growing, achieving, and creating lifelong memories together.

💚 Growing Together 💚
