From Staff:
As a school and the community I want to salute and congratulate
you, Priesthorpe for the kindness and broadmindedness you
have shown to our previously disadvantaged community and
still toddling democratic community. We thank you very much!!!
For the first time in the history of this school learners
had to sit for their end examination ‘stomach-full’.
The support you gave us has even strengthened our position
that democracy in our school has opened-up avenues which
could not be opened before namely, friendships, cross pollination
of ideas, cross-cultural exposure and academic exposure
in a true sense of international exposure!! Thank You!!
It is the strongest wish of all of us the management, the
school governing body, teaching personnel and the learners
that this partnership continues.
The manner in which our team-leaders committed themselves
during and after normal schooling hours in sports confirms
the motivation they have yielded with the cross-pollination
of ideas.
Furthermore as educators, through your motivation, we have
encouraged women to organise themselves into what is called
Rural Women’s Movement (RWM).
It is further thought that your foresightedness in respect
extending academic, sportsmanship and ordinary human relationships
has indeed made us a very ‘proud rural school’
of Mqedandaba. If it were not because of your wisdom as
Priesthorpe families, our school could not have achieved
this much.
In conclusion, one would in view of the nearing festive
seasons take the liberty to wish all the progressive thinkers
of Priesthorpe, a Happy Christmas and fabulous and prosperous
NEW YEAR!!!
Readers will realise that English is
the ‘second language’ at the school.
We have passed on the comments here verbatim.
From Learners:
We are glad and fortunate to be of many students in our
school to partner with Priesthorpe College. The main reason
is that we can have two worlds in one world meaning we have
education at its best and sport only a few have what we
already have.
We have introduced a new sport, cricket. It was so mind
blowing when we learners learnt the moves that the sport
leaders and teachers taught us. Rugby is also taking flight,
the boys have played for the first time in a tournament
so they really gained experience. As for girls in Netball
they have won trophies and medals for our school, they really
lifted the name of our school. Not forgetting the cultural
activities the ‘Zulu Dance’ also made wonders,
they have never lost in any competition.
Our teachers do everything in their power to teach us with
limited resources but due to unfortunate reasons we have
outdated books which do not help us find the information
we need. As for limited resources we have to share the two
grounds we have for sport and limited equipment. We know
we can make it if we try. We hope that one day we will find
sponsors who will help us to build the sportsfield.
