The Signs of Growth and What's Still to Come: More Than Just New Buildings and Upgrades.

Omphile Monaisa

When you walk around our school today, it's hard not to notice the changes which are the new spaces, upgraded areas and an undeniable sense that something is moving forward. However, what's here isn't just about fresh paint or new walls. It's about growth — in who we are as a school and what we're building towards.

This year marked a historic moment for our school as we hosted our first ever Classic Clash. This is a moment that brought pride, unity and a level of excitement we will never forget. But most importantly, it sparked a real and lasting development.

In preparation for this big moment, our school took big steps which included the upgrading of our pavilion to create a more fitting space for spectators and school supporters as well as the building of a dedicated changing room for our First Rugby Team. This wasn't just about one event. It was also about raising our standards and laying the foundation for a stronger sports culture.

BUT... not all developments and improvements were big and loud. Some were small but just as important. Like the new shelter at the main gate for the personnel who open and close it everyday. It might not stand out to everyone, but it shows something deeper — that we are growing into a school that values every role, every individual and every contribution that keeps things running.

We are also seeing more movement around the school and not just from the students. As our parking area expands further and further, more space is being made for our teachers, parents and visitors. This is also a small change but it shows that our school is growing in ways that are much more than one.

These additions are already proving their worth. The pavilion now serves as a vibrant space during major events, extra safety is now guaranteed for the main gate personnel and the school is now wider than ever.

All of these new developments and improvements at our school show that we are not just standing still. We are building, we are levelling up and most importantly we are showing that we are thinking ahead.
