POLOKWANE – One of the courses that General Piet Joubert learners can take is needlework.
During these classes, learners learn the ABC’s of making clothes from reading patterns, cutting the fabric to sewing it together into a piece of clothing.
At their recent prize giving ceremony, year 4-learners paraded in dresses and a suit they made themselves.
Sharline Matlatsi wore a golden mermaid dress and Mokgadi Malatji joined her by wearing one in navy blue. This style proved to be popular among the learners as Lina Lagodi and Jennifer Mauda also created their own mermaid styles.
Raesetja Semenya chose a peach coloured short flair dress while Ruby Motonze’s choice was a red mid-calf dress.
Sharon Phaka’s lilac straight cut dress had the audience in awe.
The show stopper was Shoki Masha’s royal blue Cinderella dress accompanied by the only boy in the group, Thabo Langa in a red and black suit.
Two year 3-learners, Lebogang Chewe and Grace Mashaba also showed off business suits they made themselves.
Teacher Cate Mathonsi says she is proud of the learners. “These learners worked really hard and I am extremely proud of them. They have a bright future ahead of them.”
