The school bell rang on the first day of a new academic year at Hawk Academy and the children were excited to get started.
School principal Agnes Mkhonto said the first day had been a busy one, but the children were settling in well and were already in their classes.
Mkhonto gave the GCN and officers from the Primrose Police Station a tour of the school while the learners ran about, enjoying break time.
“We have welcomed 120 Grade Ones to our school,” said Mkhonto.
“We are also excited as our learners have seven new classrooms at their disposal this year and we have our first group of Further Education and Training (FET) learners.”

During the tour Lt Col Solly Maswanganyi from the Primrose Police Station asked if the school had any security or safety concerns.
“I am very proud to say that we have no problems with drugs, weapons or fighting at the school,” said Mkhonto.
“Our children are very well-disciplined and I believe this is because each morning we read the Word of God and pray together before class.”
Maswanganyi commended her on her work with the children.
Mkhonto, her staff and the children look forward to the year ahead.
