JOHANNESBURG SOUTH – The school located at La Rochelle in the South of Johannesburg, abandoned for 25 years, handed out reports to pupils for the first time on Friday March 28.
The school was reopened to accommodate the young pupils, who would otherwise be exposed to the risk of travelling to the outermost area of La Rochelle every morning of their school days.
School Principal Thomas Mokele was very happy to see the parents and learners happy at the end of their first schooling term since the school reopened.
During the school opening, then DA Clv Bev Turk, said: “I am excited. I cannot tell you how excited I am. It’s about time something happened. Well done to the teachers. I want to wish you luck.
“The teachers should look after my children, because these children are as much mine as they may be yours.”
On Friday teachers were very happy to have done so much in a short period of time.
