“The trees have been planted in strategic areas of the school that, in time, will provide shade to learners and teachers during sunny and hot days,” said Moodley.
The children were taught about the importance of trees to the planet, and the task of watering and feeding the trees has been given to the Grade One learners to encourage ongoing interest in the environment.
Moodley thanked the Department Head, Mo Mather, for reaching out to the municipality to provide the school with trees. “They responded quickly and came out to assist in planting the trees with our learners.”
