She said their excellent service needed to be noted for imparting their knowledge to future leaders. She added to say that they gained a lot and benefited from them.
Mr Reddy said when he started at the school, there was nothing. He was humbled and appreciated and thanked all the people who had contributed to the growth of the school. He said he was sure that the present principal will take the school to greater heights because they share the same vision. He added to say that dedication, commitment and the attitude of teachers play a major role in the lives of the children.

“Mr Reddy had all the qualities of being a teacher. He was a parent, caring for the children. Even today, after he had retired, he still comes to the school. That shows how much he cares for the children. He has left a legacy and did a lot to take the school to what it is today. He had a vision and worked well with all the stakeholders. He was one of the best in terms of excellence and went the extra mile and built good relationships with neighbouring schools,” said circuit manager Ms Mamcy Mahlangu.
Ms Ndlazi said she started her career more than 27 years ago. She left teaching and went back to school to complete her Grade 12 and started again at Spring Valley in 1992.
