The school also welcomed the new Grade 1s, many of whom graduated from the school’s Grade R class last year.
Dressed in their new red, white and black uniform, children looked eager and ready to start their first day of ‘big school’.
Primary school teacher Salosh Frank, said it was all systems go adding that the first day went as they had planned. “The day went very well with children in class and fortunately we didn’t have those who were crying today [15 January],” Frank said.
“We have good systems in place and that is evident with how our first day of schooling started – children were really in a jovial mood. I can really say that everything went very well.”
Frank added that the school still has a space for Grade R learners but all Grade 1 spaces have been filled.
