Spark School officially open for business
SPARK school Springs opened its doors early 2019, and have doubled the number of learners in 2020.
The learners and teachers of Spark Springs celebrated the official opening of the school with a song and dance on Wednesday morning.
While their doors opened in January 2019, the recent ribbon cutting ceremony left a tangible joy in the air.

Gwiba says that all the educators are specialists in the subjects they teach.
Leandy Linda, the founding principal, expressed her pride in the school and its new principal.
“Being the first principal of Spark Springs was a wonderful experience,” she says.
In 2019, the school offered classes to children from Grades R to Three with the promise to grow by a grade each year.
And this year a grade four class was added.
The campus has the school’s core values plastered at every corner: service, persistence, achievement, responsibility and kindness.
“We want the children to know and practice these values daily, on and off the campus,” explains Gwiba.
The school encourages the children by rewarding them for displaying these values.
