Grade 1's on an Adventure: Exploring Their New World 🌍🏫

Friday was an exciting day for the Grade 1 learners at Saints Christian School. These young adventurers got to explore their new school in a fun and interactive way – by using a map to find key areas! 🔍🗺️

A Practical Way to Learn

Armed with their maps, the Grade 1s moved around the school, locating important spaces they’ll call home. From classrooms and playgrounds to the library and school hall, they uncovered every corner. This wasn’t just a walk around – it was a hands-on way to get comfortable in their new surroundings while learning valuable skills like orientation and teamwork. 🏫📚

Fun and Learning Combined

“The kids had so much fun following their maps,” said [teacher’s name], one of the coordinators of the day. “They truly embraced the experience as an adventure.” Each stop along the way brought new discoveries, with plenty of laughter and even a few shared stories between friends. 😄🎒

The Value of Exploration

This adventure wasn’t just about finding their way around; it also helped build confidence. The learners discovered how to navigate independently, solve problems, and use their map-reading skills – a great foundation for the future, both in and out of the classroom.

A Big Thank You to the Saints Team 🙌

A huge thanks to the teachers and staff at Saints Christian School for making this day so memorable. With such an amazing start, this year promises to be full of learning and growth for these Grade 1s. We can’t wait to see what’s next! 🌟

Saints Christian School’s U/19 Girls Crowned North-West SA20 Champions

🏏🏆 🏏🏆 🏏🏆 🏏🏆 🏏🏆

Saints Christian School’s unbeaten u/19 girls cricket team has added another accolade to their impressive season, claiming the SA20 North-West Championship after a dominant victory against Matlosana Hub in the final held at the J.B. Marks Oval.🏆This triumph not only showcases the talent and hard work of the team, but also sees them proudly representing North-West in the national tournament later this year.

Strong Performance with Bat and Ball

The foundation for Saints’ victory was laid with the bat, as they posted a competitive total of 139/5 in their 20 overs. Despite losing two early wickets, captain Tshegofatso Monyela held the innings together with a crucial 44 off 36 balls, continuing her strong form throughout the season.

Her partnership with Jessica “Chief” Joshua, who played a composed and unbeaten knock of 50* from 43 balls, helped Saints recover and build a solid total.💙💙 Jessica, leading from the front, struck six boundaries and maintained a healthy strike rate of 116.28, providing the stability needed in a tense final.

Jessica’s partnership with Diarabilwe Ngubeni, who contributed a valuable 23 off 18 balls, was pivotal in shifting the momentum. Their 52-run stand came at a critical time, ensuring that Saints could post a competitive total despite early setbacks.

Saints’ Bowlers Seal the Victory

Saints’ bowlers were relentless from the very start of Matlosana Hub’s innings. The team applied pressure with disciplined bowling, starting with economic spells from Gogontle “Gigi” Padi (0/16 in 4 overs) and Reabetswe Dithipe (1/13 in 4 overs).🏏 Reabetswe also took the important wicket of Lerato Koitokoane, with a brilliant caught-and-bowled effort that set the tone for the rest of the innings.

The fielding was equally impressive, and Saints’ energy on the field lifted the team as the wickets began to fall. The first breakthrough came at 21/1, igniting jubilant celebrations both on and off the field.✨ The crowd’s support grew louder with every wicket as Matlosana Hub struggled to gain any momentum.

Tshegofatso Monyela played a key role with the ball as well, claiming 2/19 with her tight spin bowling. Along with Siphokazi Duma, who kept the pressure on, the pair ensured that Matlosana Hub could never build a meaningful partnership. In the end, Matlosana fell more than 30 runs short of Saints’ total, giving the Saints’ girls a well-deserved victory.

A Testimony to Hard Work and Support

This win is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the Saints’ coaching staff, who have been instrumental in developing the girls’ skills and fostering a winning mentality throughout the season.🔥🔥 The players demonstrated not only their talent but also their big match temperament, handling the pressure of the final with composure and confidence.

The support from parents and school staff also played a key role, creating a unified and positive atmosphere that helped the girls perform at their best. The scenes of joy at the end of the match highlighted just how much this win meant to everyone involved.

Looking Forward to Nationals

With the North-West title secured, Saints Christian School’s u/19 girls now set their sights on the national tournament, where they will represent their province. The team will no doubt carry this momentum forward and look to continue their unbeaten streak on the bigger stage.

This achievement serves as an inspiration to the entire school community, showcasing the incredible talent and determination of these young cricketers.Congratulations to the Saints’ u/19 girls, and best of luck as they prepare for the next challenge!🎉

🙌🤩 🙌🤩 🙌🤩 🙌🤩 🙌🤩

A Warm Welcome

The event kicked off with a heartwarming welcome from our principal and enthusiastic learners, who greeted parents and church members at the door. Their cheerful smiles set the tone for a day filled with unity, truth, and excellence.

Praise and Worship

Our choir, joined by Grade 4 learner Tlotlisang Dithipe, led the congregation in a moving praise and worship session. Their voices added a unique and beautiful dimension to the service, reminding everyone of the joy and strength found in unity. 🎶👏

Celebrating Saints’ Excellence

Throughout the service, learners presented announcements to showcase the vibrant life of Saints Christian School. From academics to extracurricular activities, parents and church members were given a glimpse into what makes our institution so special.

Accountability as a Superpower: A Lesson for Life

🙌✨ 🙌✨ 🙌✨ 🙌✨ 🙌✨ 🙌✨

This past Friday and Monday, our learners were inspired by meaningful lessons that highlighted the importance of accountability and its transformative power. Through engaging talks and biblical reflections, they gained valuable insights on how to live with purpose and integrity.

The Prodigal Son: A Lesson in Significance

Teacher Sylvia led an impactful discussion based on the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-18). The story offered learners a deeper understanding of grace, forgiveness, and the importance of taking responsibility for one’s actions. A key takeaway from her lesson was the challenge to “make yourself significant” – to take ownership of your life and contribute positively to the world around you.

Accountability: A Superpower for the Young Ones

Teacher Loise brought the message home for the grade 1-3 learners, presenting accountability as a “superpower” that can make the world a better place. She encouraged them to let their actions reflect the heart of Jesus – to show kindness, love, and responsibility in all they do. This lesson was not just a reminder of their values but a call to action to live more like Jesus every day. 🏆💛

Building Strong Foundations

These lessons are more than just classroom teachings; they are tools that help shape our learners into compassionate and responsible individuals. By understanding the significance of accountability, our learners are empowered to make wise decisions, support their peers, and positively influence their communities.💪🌟

We are so proud of the way our learners embraced these lessons, and we look forward to seeing how they use their “superpower” of accountability to make a difference.

Grade 3s Explore the Magic of Colour Mixing in Art Class

🎨😊 🎨😊 🎨😊 🎨😊 🎨😊

Our grade 3 learners recently got hands-on with colours in a fun and creative art session led by Teacher Larnese! 🎨😊 This special lesson was all about discovering the magic that happens when different colours meet – and the results were nothing short of amazing.

Teacher Larnese began with a quick demo, showing the class how mixing one colour with another can create an entirely new shade. The learners watched with wide eyes as primary colours combined to form greens, purples, and oranges. From there, it was time for them to get creative on their own!

With brushes in hand and palettes filled with colourful paint, the kids eagerly experimented, blending colours to see what they could create. The room was soon buzzing with excitement as each learner proudly showcased their unique colour creations.🖌️👏✨

This hands-on experience allowed the grade 3s to express themselves artistically while learning a bit about colour theory. It’s safe to say the learners left the class inspired and ready to continue their artistic journeys!Well done, grade 3s, and a big thank you to Teacher Larnese for bringing out the artist in each of our learners!

Vaccine Drive at Saints Christian School to Combat Cervical Cancer

🎗️✨ 🎗️✨ 🎗️✨ 🎗️✨ 🎗️✨

During October, Saints Christian School partnered with the Department of Health and the Department of Education to carry out a vaccine drive for the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). This vaccine initiative focused on girls from Grades 5 to 7 with the goal of protecting them against cervical cancer. 👏

Protecting Our Young Women

HPV is one of the leading causes of cervical cancer, and this vaccination drive is a proactive step to ensure better health outcomes for young women in our community. By providing this vaccine, the Department of Health and Department of Education are helping to create a safer future and promoting long-term health.

Why the HPV Vaccine?

The HPV vaccine is most effective when given before exposure to the virus, which is why it’s targeted at girls in Grades 5-7.  💪🌟By tackling the virus early, we’re taking a big step in preventing cervical cancer later in life. It’s a simple but impactful action that can make all the difference.

Gratitude for Community Health Efforts

We are grateful to both departments for bringing this important initiative to Saints Christian School. Their dedication to the health of our young learners and the greater community does not go unnoticed. This vaccine drive is a reminder of the power of prevention and the importance of community health efforts.

Let’s continue to support efforts like these that work towards a healthier and brighter future for our children!

Gabriella Gabriel Inspires Saints Learners During Cancer Awareness Week

🎗️✨ 🎗️✨ 🎗️✨ 🎗️✨ 🎗️✨ 🎗️✨

This past Monday, we were honoured to welcome Gabriella Gabriel to Saints as part of our Cancer Awareness Week. Gabriella, who holds a degree in psychology and physiology and is currently specialising in cardiovascular physiology and women’s health, brought valuable insights to our high school learners, specifically focusing on breast cancer awareness. 🎗️✨

Insightful Talk on Cancer and Health

Gabriella shared fascinating information with our students about the importance of early detection, prevention, and awareness when it comes to breast cancer. One of the highlights of her talk was an intriguing statistic that shows people with a spiritual foundation often recover faster from illness. This reminder encourages us all to offer support to those around us who are facing health challenges and to uplift them emotionally and spiritually.

Supporting Cancer Patients in Our Community

As we observe Cancer Awareness Week, Gabriella’s words remind us of the power of community and compassion. Let’s continue to support those around us who are struggling with cancer, whether it’s through prayer, encouragement, or simply being there to listen.

Thank you, Gabriella, for sharing your expertise and heart with us. Our students left inspired, informed, and ready to make a difference.

Saints Christian School Supports SANBS Blood Drive

🩸🩸 🩸🩸 🩸🩸 🩸🩸 🩸🩸

On Wednesday, 2 October, Saints Christian School welcomed the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) to our campus for a meaningful cause. Some of our dedicated staff members took time out of their busy schedules to visit the mobile donation set-up in the chapel and donate blood to help save lives.🫶🏻 It was a small act with a big impact, and we are proud to be part of this important initiative.

The Importance of Blood Donation

The SANBS shared a surprising statistic with us: only 1% of South Africans are active blood donors. This means that the need for more donors is constant. Every donation makes a significant difference, as just one unit of blood can save a minimum of three lives.🩸How is that possible? Blood is separated into red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, each of which can be used for different life-saving treatments.

Making a Difference, One Donation at a Time

The visit from the SANBS gave our staff an opportunity to contribute to a cause that is much bigger than ourselves. By donating blood, we are helping people in need, whether it's someone recovering from surgery, a patient undergoing cancer treatment, or a person who has suffered a serious injury.✨

Overview of Saints Christian School

Saints Christian School operates with a mission to support each generation in reaching its full potential through a Christian framework. This mission is integrated into the school’s structure, offering a continuous educational pathway from nursery school through high school. The curriculum is designed to incorporate Christian principles while providing a broad, innovative educational experience aimed at holistic development.

Curriculum and Academics

Saints Christian School offers a curriculum that blends academic rigor with a Christian worldview, aimed at providing a well-rounded education. The academic program is structured into two phases: the ACE (Accelerated Christian Education) curriculum for Grades 1-2 and the Switched-on Education program for Grades 3-12. Each stage is designed to meet the developmental needs of learners, utilizing a combination of traditional and digital learning tools.

For younger learners in Grades 1 and 2, the ACE curriculum emphasizes the basics of literacy and numeracy through a multi-sensory approach. This includes phonetic learning, songs, and hands-on activities to establish a strong academic foundation. As students advance to higher grades, the Switched-on Education curriculum introduces a broader array of subjects, including Bible studies, Math, Science, History, and Geography, supported by interactive, media-rich content.

The school also integrates life skills, technology, and creative arts into the curriculum to ensure that students receive a comprehensive education. The academic programs, overseen by Principal Cathrine Venter, focus on providing individualized attention and support, preparing students not just for academic success but for life beyond the classroom.

Extracurricular Activities: Arts and Culture

Saints Christian School places a significant emphasis on arts and culture, recognizing the role of creative expression in holistic development. The school’s arts program includes dance and drama, giving students the opportunity to cultivate their creativity and communication skills. Annual concerts, which often center around biblical themes, provide a platform for learners to showcase their talents and engage with the broader community.

Participation in local and regional arts competitions, such as the Gimmies Eisteddfod, has become a hallmark of the school’s commitment to cultural development. Through these activities, students are encouraged to grow emotionally and spiritually, as the arts program is seen as an important avenue for personal expression and well-being.

Sports Programs and Achievements

The sports program at Saints Christian School is designed to develop students physically, emotionally, and socially. The school’s approach to sports starts early, with the Sports Academy offering training in fundamental athletic skills such as agility, balance, and coordination for children as young as three. The academy’s training programs have helped students excel in cricket and soccer at both provincial and national levels.

In addition to general physical education, the school runs specialized sports clinics that focus on soccer, cricket, and netball. These clinics aim to hone technical skills while also fostering teamwork and strategic thinking. The emphasis is not only on performance in competitive settings but also on personal growth, as students learn to navigate high-pressure environments both on and off the field.

The cricket and soccer clinics, in particular, have garnered attention for their success, producing top-level athletes who compete against some of the best schools in the region. The school’s sports philosophy emphasizes balanced development, ensuring that students excel both athletically and academically.
