It was all systems go at Germiston South Primary School on Wednesday as children flocked to school to kick-off the new academic year.
Five Grade One classes were full of eager learners ready to start the process of learning.
Lanette Fouché, principal of Germiston South Primary School, was pleased with the way the first day of school went.
“The day has been fine.
“We met all the Grade Ones in the hall and our Grade Rs out in the garden,” she said.
“We were ready and organised and are looking forward to the year.”
Fouché told the GCN that the school had received 800 applications from parents wanting to place their Grade Ones in the school, but they could only take 200 learners.

“Our whole school is full,” Fouché said.
“Over the years we have grown in numbers and now have 1 250 learners in the school.
“We now even have 10 mobile classrooms to help accommodate learners.”
Fouché added that she has wonderful, dedicated foundation phase teachers, so the Grade Ones are in good hands.
“They are dedicated to their jobs and have perseverance and a love for children,” she said.
“Education is interesting and exciting and that is why I told my staff to have a ‘fun-tastic’ day, and the children are ready and excited to learn.”
