Through various activities, learners demonstrated their commitment to making a positive impact in Midrand, highlighting the essence of the Nova Pioneer mission.
As part of the anniversary celebrations, learners from the Midrand secondary campus engaged in two impactful outreach activities that embodied the school’s spirit of service.
This was not merely a token gesture, it was a profound commitment to the community, demonstrating the ethical and empathetic leadership that Nova Pioneer aims to cultivate.
One group of learners chose to spend their day at the Midrand SPCA, where they devoted their energy to caring for animals in need.
Their activities ranged from feeding and cleaning to spending quality time with the animals, making a real difference in their lives.
Meanwhile, another group took the initiative to deliver much-needed clothes and food to the Botshabelo Babies Home and Preschool, displaying compassion for the vulnerable children within their community.
Chinezi Chijioke, co-founder and CEO of Nova Pioneer, expressed his pride in the school’s accomplishments over the past decade.

He emphasised the collective passion and effort invested in building a strong educational foundation.
“We have much to celebrate and much for which to be grateful,” he said, acknowledging the contributions of every learner, family member, and supporter.
The essence of these outreach activities is rooted in sustainability. The contributions made by learners and their families played a crucial role in supporting Botshabelo’s mission to provide care and education for children in need.
Nova Pioneer’s 10th anniversary was not only a celebration of the past, but also a call to action for the future.
Chijioke’s remarks about the growing need for young Africans to create new opportunities resonate deeply within the community. He stated, “Looking ahead, many miles of opportunity lies ahead,” indicating the importance of forging ahead with purpose and determination.
The school encourages other educational institutions and organisations to initiate similar outreach efforts. By doing so, they can reinforce the message that collective action can lead to significant positive change, ultimately benefiting the community as a whole.
