🌸 DOEK ON FLEEK – CELEBRATING WOMEN & STANDING AGAINST GBV 🌸

Our amazing teachers and learners came together for Doek on Fleek to celebrate National Women’s Day and stand united in the fight against Gender-Based Violence (GBV). 💜🧕🏽

It was wonderful to see our school community embracing the day with beautiful doeks and traditional attire, while raising awareness for an important cause. 🙌🏽✨

Today, we celebrate the strength, courage and resilience of women and girls, while reminding everyone that GBV has no place in our communities. Let’s continue to speak up, stand together and create a safer future for all. ❤️

🌺 Strong women. Strong voices. Stronger communities. 🌺

🌸 HAPPY NATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY! 🇿🇦 🌸

Today, we celebrate the incredible women who inspire, lead, nurture, educate and make a difference every single day. 💐

May we honour the strength, courage and resilience of women and girls everywhere, and continue to create a world where every woman is respected, valued and empowered. 💪🏽❤️

To all the amazing women in our Welkom Academy of Excellence family — our teachers, staff, mothers, grandmothers, learners and supporters — you are appreciated, celebrated and valued! 🌷

✨ Happy National Women’s Day! ✨
