Teacher urges parents to support their children with their academic work
ALEXANDRA – High achievers were celebrated at Skeen Primary School for their outstanding work.
The local primary school recently hosted a foundation phase academic and sports awards ceremony to reward hardworking learners.
Parents and community members filled the Skeen Primary School hall to capacity as foundation phase high academic achievers and best sports performers from grades 1, 2 and 3 received certificates and trophies to encourage them to continue working hard.

Foundation phase head of department at the school, Lillian Motsholane, urged parents and community members to be an integral part of their children learning and encouraged them to participate in sports. “As a parent, you must know how your child performs at school. The learning process of a child is the responsibility of both teachers and parents. You must also encourage children to participate in sports and support them. Parents should know that the best way to identify their children’s talents is when they are still tender age,”

Nthabeleng Mokwenya and Tshiriletso Sebela, who represented the school and the region at a provincial athletics event, were hailed for their epic performance in the competition putting the school in the map.
