Dress up
Our learners look forward to theme specific days where learners are encouraged to dress up and participate in the various activities arranged for the day. For example: Literacy day; Africa Day, Sports dress up days in support of the local and national teams, slipper day, crazy hat day etc.
Valentines Day
Valentine’s day usually coincides with our value of compassion. We use this day to promote the value by having class and individual items in the form of a show for the learners. This is also a platform for learners to showcase their talents.
