Feeding will continue post-release as it mimics natural parental care.
These owls can now hone their flying and hunting skills.
Staff and learners at the school have enjoyed seeing the owls every day since their arrival.
The school thanked EcoSolutions for the opportunity to house and release the owls.
Everyone at the school hopes the owls will stay close by or nest in one of the owl houses on the premises to enable regular sightings of them.
