CAPE TOWN-<\/strong>Perivale Primary School will honour the important role grandparents play in the life of the community through a special celebration at their school on Friday 15 November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will be the Lotus River school’s first Grandparents Day which will take place from 10:00 to 12:00 and will commemorate the “kings and queens” who serve as pillars of strength in many local families.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year the Grade 7 learners will highlight the theme of “Gratitude” and will feature songs, dance and poetry in the school hall.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The celebration recognises grandparents’ vital role as caregivers,” said school spokesperson Nicolene Langner, “particularly in households where they provide stability and guidance when parents are absent, stepping far beyond traditional grandparent roles.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

School organisers emphasised grandparents’ profound impact on family structures and child development within the community.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Grandparents hold a very special place in every family,” Langner noted. “They are the root of wisdom, love and strength, guiding and supporting generations with patience and care. In many of our learners’ lives grandparents play an even greater role, often stepping in as caregivers and providing stability when parents are absent.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event’s timing coincides with Grade 7 learners’ preparation for high-school transition, making the celebration particularly meaningful as students prepare for their next educational chapter.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As our Grade 7 learners prepare to move on to high school, we know that their grandparents will remain the anchors in their lives, offering guidance, encouragement and love every step of the way. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We extend a warm invitation to local businesses or individuals in and around our community who would like to donate treats or refreshments towards this special day.” \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
