Whitby High student group arrives into Capetown for I D Mkhise High, Sivive School of Skills and Sokhanyo Primary, Gugulethu

Capetonian Headteachers and their key global teachers patiently waited for the slow release of their UK twin school from International arrivals. To then find out that one British student's bag had been mistakenly taken, resulting in one very unhappy student  The atmosphere was quickly dispelled as the schools re-united after many years of international collaboration and friendships going way back.
What a week ahead is planned,with much preparation having gone before with Capetown learners working physically to clear the ground (thank you staff and learners at School of Skills) for a brand new adventure playground to be built utilising the Jungle Mania company locally. In addition an ambitious and meaningful wall mural to paint for the Sokhanyo Primary children to enjoy in the future as they play.All this has come together with commendable leadership of ID Mkhise, Sivive School of Skills and Sokhanyo's School Principals. We still await the arrival of the Zimbabwian twinned teachers and learners this Sunday to join in the action this coming week.

Welcome back to your second home Krysia and team and thank you for your passion and compassionate on-going efforts

Wynberg Girls High's UK and ZIM Headteachers visit them in Capetown 2016

With the Matric final "thrash" being a braai (South African word for barbeque) and tented sleepover , their UK Headteacher joined in, undaunted by a blusterly gale threatening to swallow up the tents.

Wynberg's Shirley Harding welcomes her and their Zim Head, Mike Lusaba, even as the 2016 academic year makes a strong start in South Africa

This is a lovely partnership spanning over many years due to committed school leadership.
