Student Works
Things our learners made this year.
Selected by their class teachers — not because they are the best, but because they show real growth.
Setswana praise poetry
A maboko for his late grandfather. Tumelo wrote four drafts before he was satisfied with the rhythm.
Bottle-cap mosaic
Two thousand bottle caps collected from neighbours. Maps the school grounds — the Acacia, the kitchen, the gate.
"Why my Gogo cooks better than the radio"
A 320-word personal essay; Mrs Botha read it aloud at the staff meeting.
"What 190 children can do"
Bojanala District Speech, third place 2024. Sipho rewrote his opening line on the bus there.

Designed in the Technology "Useful Thing" project. It works with sand, gravel, and patience.
