News of our school activities
From the Principal’s Desk – Visible Learning
The teachers are well into their third Visible Learning course with Corwin, entitled “How Students Learn”. We are strengthening our student toolbox with 400 different strategies!
Thank You Value Group
Thank you Value Group for once again contributing towards the salary of our Academic Head and community member at the Computer Hub.
Supporter Spotlight – MBSA
MBSA decided to donate a VITO to the school, to enable our students’ participation in local sporting events such as cross country meets, or netball games against other schools.
Guardian African Angels give and take support.
Two of our Guardian African Angels did not achieve the matric results they needed to get into the tertiary education courses they chose. But they are not giving up! Both are now employed at African Angels, through the Youth Employment Scheme YES, and are working and studying hard to reach their goals.
Cross country teaches perseverance
Cross-country is teaching valuable lessons outside of the classroom. They are learning social skills, behavioural etiquette and how to persist and persevere when it would be easier to give up.
African Angels Tennis
We are determined that when our children leave us they have as many experiences as possible so they can decide what they like and want to pursue as they get older. Our Grade 5 boys are loving their new Friday afternoon tennis lessons with Lou and Mrs Fourie.
Introducing After-care
Research conducted at the school is showing that there are many skills which are not taught during the school day, which are necessary to prepare our learners for a more successful future – these include, computer and vocabulary skills, and additional sports. We decided to introduce after-care for the grade 2-4 learners to fill the gaps.
Supporter Spotlight – VWV
VWV decided in a recent board meeting to support African Angels Primary School and now each director sponsors a child.
New Classroom assistants
We welcome three new classroom assistants, each of them started with African Angels as part of the Seriti Institute and The Jobs Fund programme. All three proved themselves hard working, competent and worthy of a full-time placement at the school. Congratulations!
