“Parents were hesitant at first but after much discussion and debate we were able to get the parents to agree,” said Dladla.Dladla joined the school as principal in April 2022 when the previous matric pass rate was 42%. “Our school aesthetic is in need of major work. We had a structure at the school which burnt nine years ago, which has never been fixed. Parts of the school look like a forest,” said Dladla.
They have worked hard through their schooling years. I also make a passionate plea to the greater public at large to please support this “camp in” study initiative with food items so the pupils will have sufficient nutrition and food aid throughout this programme.Meanwhile, other schools in the area have also been preparing their matric pupils for the examinations, which begin on Monday.
