8 November 2024- The North West MEC for Education, Viola Motsumi said despite challenging circumstances, the Rauwane Sepeng Secondary School is now nearing readiness to resume its matric camps. Motsumi said, thanks to the generous assistance extended by neighbouring high schools and a local supermarket.
“This outpouring of support has been instrumental in ensuring that Grade 12 learners can continue their preparations without further disruption. Donations include sleeping mattresses, wash basins, blankets and pillows to restore dignity to the camping learners.
“The department expresses its heartfelt gratitude to all donors and supporters, who stepped in during this difficult time. Their swift response has enabled the school to navigate through this period and make significant progress,” she said.
Motsumi further said this includes the development of a revised timetable for Grades 8-11, to ensure continuity of learning and examinations. She commended the collaborative efforts demonstrated by the community.
“The support shown to the school highlights the true spirit of unity and resilience within our community. When we come together to support our learners, we demonstrate that the education of each child is indeed a collective responsibility.
“We thank all the donors and stakeholders whose contributions have made it possible for Rauwane Sepeng to continue its mission of education, even in the face of adversity,” said Motsumi.
She added that the department remains committed to working closely with the school to ensure all learners receive the education they deserve as recovery efforts continue.
