“Our day is running smoothly, our teachers and learners are ready and organised for the year ahead,” said Sunnyridge Primary School principal Marianna Odendaal.
The school, like many, opened its doors on Wednesday, welcoming a new year of Grade Ones and three new teachers.
“We have 107 Grade Ones, divided into four classes,” said Odendaal.

To remember their first day of school the Grade Ones had professional school photos taken, while the school’s other learners spent the morning getting reacquainted with the school and had the opportunity to share news from their holidays.
“This year we are introducing a new discipline system that was compiled by the school’s governing body and management team.
“The teachers spent the morning going through the system with learners before classes officially started at 10.30am,” Odendaal explained.
Odendaal believes the year ahead will be a positive and exciting one.
“This year we will be introducing ‘Letter Land’ which will encourage our learners to read and teach them to spell,” she said.
