Acting principal of Fidelitas Secondary School, Tsekiso Motlengoa, and the SGB have committed themselves into making the school the best in Diepkloof.
Motlengoa said that the school is a no-fee school so they need a lot of help achieving their aims.
“The government fee that we get is not enough to reach our aims. We are asking for donations and sponsorships from the community that can turn our vision into reality,” he said.
Motlengoa said that they believe in all-round education which is not restricted to text books.
“We want our pupils to get all the benefits of a great education and to achieve that we need funds. We need furniture for the staff offices, classes, a laboratory and a parking bay with a shelter for pupils on sunny days,” he said.
Motlengoa said they also want parents to help in the school.
“We need parents who don’t have to go to work to help us in the school. They can help with the security, in the kitchen and supervising pupils when a teacher calls in sick. We have a database of parents who help out but we are urging more parents to sign in,” he said.

To the parents around our communities, kindly take note that there are best schools in your own area of Diepkloof, one of the top matric achiever in 2013 comes from a township school, in Soweto. Gone are the days where we were only getting top achievers from former “model c” schools
One of the top achievers in 2013 from Fidelitas comprehensive school and ERF Saturday programme will be leaving for Cuba, in the USA to further his studies.
We are claiming back our township schools.
