Christmas wishes from Crawford International Ruimsig Pre-Primary

• Ashleigh Bateman, the principal of Crawford International Ruimsig Pre-Primary, writes:

As we approach the end of the year, the anticipation of the festive season fills the air, bringing with it a sense of warmth, celebration and family time. This is the time when we come together as a community to reflect on our accomplishments and express our gratitude for the blessings we have received.

Throughout the year, we have achieved so much. We have grown, learned, and adapted in the face of challenges, and our collective efforts have borne spectacular fruit. From academic success to artistic triumphs, from sporting victories to community service initiatives, Crawford International Ruimsig has much to celebrate and certainly so much to be proud of.

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the greater Roodepoort community for their unwavering support throughout the year. It is the strength of a community that propels our students forward, and we are truly thankful for all the role players who have contributed to our collective success this year.

As we bid farewell to 2023 and welcome the promise of an even better 2024, we look forward to the opportunities and adventures that the new year will bring. Together we will continue to learn, grow, and make a positive impact on the world. With the winning spirit that our country is blessed with, there is no doubt that we can achieve great things. Here’s to a joyful, blessed festive season, a time of gratitude, and the exciting prospect of what lies ahead.
