Our Junior Arts group celebrated Heritage Day by creating colourful collages exploring youth identity.

Through art, the group reflected on who they are, where they come from, what shapes them, and how culture and heritage form part of their identity.

A creative way to celebrate individuality, belonging and the many stories that make us who we are.

Iqela lethu lobuGcisa labaNcinci libhiyozele uSuku lweLifa leMveli ngokwenza ii-collage ezimibalabala ezijolise kwisazisi solutsha.

Ngobugcisa, eli qela licamngce ngokuba lingobani, livela phi, yintoni elibumbayo, kwanendlela inkcubeko nelifa lemveli ezinxulumene ngayo nesazisi salo.

Yindlela enobuchule nenentsingiselo yokubhiyozela ukuba ngumntu owahlukileyo, ukuziva ungowendawo ethile, kunye namabali ahlukeneyo asenza sibe ngabantu esingabo.

Our Heritage celebrations continued today with our Junior Changemakers reading isiXhosa stories to their peers.

Celebrating and using our home languages is an important part of keeping culture, identity and traditions alive. Reading in isiXhosa also helps children build confidence in their language, strengthen literacy skills and develop pride in where they come from.

A beautiful way for our young Changemakers to learn from one another and celebrate the richness of their heritage.

Imibhiyozo yethu yeLifa leMveli iqhubekile namhlanje, apho abaGuquli bethu abaNcinci bebefundela oontanga babo amabali ngesiXhosa.

Ukubhiyozela nokusebenzisa iilwimi zethu zasekhaya kubalulekile ekugcineni inkcubeko, isazisi kunye nezithethe zethu ziphila. Ukufunda ngesiXhosa kukwanceda abantwana bakhe ukuzithemba ekusebenziseni ulwimi lwabo, bomeleze izakhono zokufunda nokubhala, baze bazingce ngemvelaphi yabo.

Yindlela entle yokuba abaGuquli bethu abancinci bafunde omnye komnye baze babhiyozele ubutyebi belifa labo lemveli.

A meaningful celebration of culture, creativity and identity.

Today we officially launched the Masilime Sonke Gardening Project at Walmer High School.

The project combines practical gardening with the school’s existing outdoor classroom, creating a space where learners can connect hands-on activities with learning in a natural environment.

Through the garden, learners will gain practical experience around food production, sustainability, teamwork and responsibility, while the outdoor classroom provides a space for discussion, creativity and learning outside the traditional classroom setting.

We’re looking forward to seeing the garden develop and become a meaningful part of the school environment.

Day 2 of our second Changemakers group’s Spring Camp is underway!

Today started with a recap of what they explored yesterday, including cybersecurity, staying safe online, and the importance of being kind and respectful on the internet.

The group reflected on how their choices online can affect themselves and others, and how the same values we practise offline — respect, responsibility and kindness — also matter in digital spaces.

With the theme “It’s Your World!”, the camp continues to encourage our Changemakers to make positive choices, stand up for themselves and others, and become positive influences among their peers.

Usuku lwesi-2 lweNkampu yaseNtwasahlobo yeqela lethu lesibini labaTshintshi luqalile!

Namhlanje baqale ngokuphinda bakhumbule izinto abazifundileyo izolo, kuquka ukhuseleko kwi-intanethi, indlela yokuhlala bekhuselekile xa bekwi-intanethi, kunye nokubaluleka kokuba nobubele nokuhlonipha abanye kwi-intanethi.

Iqela liphinde lacamngca ngendlela izigqibo abazenzayo kwi-intanethi ezinokuchaphazela ngayo bona kunye nabanye, nokuba amaxabiso esiwasebenzisayo ebomini bemihla ngemihla — njengentlonipho, uxanduva nobubele — abalulekile nakwiindawo zedijithali.

Ngaphantsi komxholo othi “Lihlabathi Lakho!”, inkampu iyaqhubeka nokukhuthaza abaTshintshi bethu ukuba benze izigqibo ezilungileyo, bazimele bona nabanye, kwaye babe nefuthe elihle koontanga babo.
