Saxonwold Primary School gives Youth Day the Saxonwold flair

SAXONWORLD – Saxonworld Primary School celebrates Youth Day the fun way.

Saxonwold Primary School commemorated the Youth Uprising of 16 June 1976 by allowing learners to come to school dressed as their favorite teachers.

Teachers were also allowed the opportunity of reliving their high school days by dressing up as schoolchildren.
