Campus security
Perimeter palisade fence, two locked gates, and a daytime guard contracted through Bojanala Safe-Schools. Every visitor signs the gate book; every learner leaves only with the adult listed on their card.
We are a small school with a small budget. The promises below are the ones we can actually keep, every school day, for every learner. They are not impressive on paper. They are very impressive when it is your child standing at the gate.
In a No-Fee public school, “safety” means simple, repeatable habits done well. No fingerprint scanners, no private contracts, no marketing claims — just adults paying attention. Here are the six routines we keep, term in and term out.

Most of our families walk to school. We organise walking groups by street, with a Grade 7 prefect at the front and a parent volunteer at the back. The duty teacher stands at the gate from 06:45 to 14:30 every day.
A hot meal every school day under the National School Nutrition Programme — pap, samp, beans, soya mince, morogo from our garden. The four kitchen volunteers are food-handling certified and start cooking at 06:30.
A small sick-bay run by Mrs. Phokwane (first-aid Level 1 certified). For anything more, we drive learners to Soshanguve Block FF Clinic under our standing referral letter; parents are phoned within ten minutes.
A district-shared counsellor visits every Tuesday and Thursday, with private appointments in the staff room. Once a month we run a whole-school wellness assembly — bullying, grief, online safety, kindness.
Two evacuation drills every term, run with the Madibeng Fire Service. All seventeen educators are first-aid trained. Our fire extinguishers are inspected every six months by Hlumelo Safety, and the assembly point is the back field.
Safety is not a feature. It’s a hundred small habits, kept quietly, every day.
The fastest way to know whether a school is right for your child is to stand in its corridor for an hour. Our Principal’s Coffee Hour is every Wednesday from 14:00 — no appointment needed.
