The little ones’ parents were greeted by a festive atmosphere at the school, where a marquee had been pitched for the ceremony.
Rousing song and dance by the school choir entertained guests and staff as they took their seats to watch their children receive certificates several categories.
“We are here today to celebrate our children,” Orangekloof principal ,Mkhululi Qaba, told the audience. “Our children have to understand that the future belongs to them. We want to send a message that we are a school on the move. We are working with our kids because we know they have what it takes to stand on their own two feet.”
