Most parents with learners at the school who spoke to SFC News said they were happy in the way the GET and FET Phase parents’ meetings were conducted recently. They shared their views as follows:
 One of the parents, Refuge Zikalala said that the school must be commended for a well-planned and informative meeting. “What stood out for me at the meeting is the level of parental involvement, and I pray that the school continues to work closely with parents as the main stakeholders”, he said.

 Meanwhile, Thandi Mdabe , said that at first, she did not think that the meeting was going to be so fruitful. However, the level or organisation was commendable and that all the speakers were very clear and straight to the point in their presentations, thus making the meeting very informative. “I am also happy that our views are considered. I was equally encouraged to know about the work targets that the school has set for each Grade and also that extra-lessons are in progress”. |

 Sanelisiwe Dube said the meeting was well-organised, and that the presenters were prepared and very informative, adding that it gave them the real picture of what was going on at the school. “The idea of cooperation between the school and parents is a most significant one because as parents we tend to leave everything for educators”, said Dube. “We also need to understand the challenges that the teachers are facing at the school as far as discipline is concerned”, she added. |
 Nomvula Fetsha, said “the day was awesome for me”, and she commended the school for challenging parents to take an active role in the education of their children. “As parents, we have to prepare our children, and work together with the school because the future of our children depends on us all and not teachers alone”, she said, adding that “a platform like this gives us the opportunity to follow closely the progress of our children, as well as what is happening at the school. I am very happy”. |
