Update on Makukhanye School

Following a very successful school visit in 2024 to our partner school in South Africa, Makukhanye School, we have already begun planning for the next one, scheduled to take place in 2026. This will offer an unparalleled opportunity for our travelling pupils and staff to see first-hand the work at our partner school, made possible and financed in part by the fund-raising in which our pupils are involved in each year. Earlier last week, Mr Johnson received an update from staff at Makukhanye to say that the works earmarked during our last visit have now been completed. One of the next projects at Makukhanye School, that once again we hope to be able to support, is the development of an apprenticeship programme for teaching welding and electrician skills, plumbing and carpentry. This will enable Makukhanye School pupils to have new opportunities to learn employable practical skills relevant to their community.
