19th January 2023
We started the year with our New Principal, Mrs. Kate Baker, who was welcomed with warm arms by our parents. It was a day filled with joy for those children who were looking forward to be part of Makabongwe. Some tears were shed, some children tried to escape, a sight to behold – teachers and Moms chasing after them but all in all it was great day.
Here are some pics of our first day back at school below!

Colour of love celebration
Our children had the best time celebrating love! There was pink, there was red, and there was a show. This time our children had a chance to model and dance for us, unlike before, it was the teachers, Whew! What a relief that was 😊. A very special THANK YOU to our beloved Aunty Melissa for baking over 200 Valentines cupcakes for each learner and the staff.

Baker Baker
First Baker Baker for 2023! Since we are learning about our bodies, we made smiley faces . It was a fun and interesting lesson with some of the faces having 3 eyes, 2 nose and no mouth 😂. Thanks to Bake A Ton for donating the icing sugar!

We had a visit from SAPS and the children learnt how the police keep us safe and what their phone is in case we ever get into trouble. 10111 is is the number that they had to memorise in case of emergencies. Well, most of our female learners wanted to be Police Officers after seeing Sgt Lungi Magwala, Sgt Mngonyama and Sgt Khomo. Thank You so much ladies.
23 and 28 March 2023
On the 23rd March the Grade 000 and Grade 00 went to Botanical Gardens for their first outing. We had nature hunt and a picnic. The children had a lot of fun searching and collecting some items, which they then used to make a collage. We did the same for the Grade R outing on the 28th March. A special thank you to Glenwood High School for giving us a lift in your bus, Aunty Melissa for making some delicious hotdog as always, Go Big Boyz for printing out our brand new outing shirts and Nicole Horner for donating the shirts. We also had some amazing volunteers from DGC and some wonderful ladies from Switzerland who have become our good friends.
It was indeed a wonderful experience for the kids🦢🦅🐟🌲🍀🌼☘️

Easter Egg Hunt!
The Easter Bunny visited the children of Makabongwe on the 31st March. You could hear the joy and delight when an egg was found and even more so, when enjoying the delicious chocolate treat. PLUS the children got to take some Easter Eggs home to share with their families.
A HUGE thank you to all those who donated Easter Eggs to the children at Makabongwe! What a great way to end the first term! Thank you to Clifton Durban, DGC and Joy Well beloved
