World Teachers day was on Saturday 5 October, marking a special month to honour the dedication of teachers nationwide and the perfect time to recognise those who educate and inspire with commitment and heart.
On Thursday 24 October, Strong Schools hosted a Teacher Appreciation event in collaboration with the Trim Tab Foundation (formerly the Johann & Gaynor Rupert Foundation) for 300 teachers from eight schools in the Helderberg area.
The afternoon was a vibrant gathering filled with joy, dancing, and a well-deserved focus on celebrating the teachers.
Adré Potgieter, a performance coach, an internationally-registered MLNP™ neuro-coach and therapeutic social worker, shared uplifting words that encouraged and empowered teachers as they head into the final term of the 2024 academic year.
The beautiful venue at Hope and Light Community Welfare NPC created the perfect atmosphere for the festivity.
Special thanks to Zelda Coetzee, well-being hub coordinator, and the Strong Schools team for putting their hearts into creating a memorable and meaningful experience for everyone.
