To commemorate its 60th anniversary Windermere High School has embarked on a journey to plough back into the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday 8 May, the school based in 10th Avenue, Kensington, hosted about 10 boys aged 10 to 15 years. They were gifted with hygiene packs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school celebrated its anniversary on Sunday 7 April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Craig Leetz, the school principal, explained these boys were loitering in the area daily, did not attend school and came from disadvantaged backgrounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: \u201cThe school will host a dance next month to celebrate its 60 years. But as a school, we also thought about what we could do to give back. While the ultimate aim is to get them reintegrated into a school system, the school imparted some positivity into their lives. We see some of these boys daily standing at traffic lights or on street corners. So we thought we could do something.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leetz explained that with the help of a community worker, who collected the boys and brought them to the school, they were able to host them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile the ultimate aim is to get them reintegrated into a school system, the school imparted some positivity into their lives. Some of our matrics, prefects and RCL learners spoke to the boys, motivating them about the advantages of attending school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe provided them with breakfast and then we split them into groups. They were then allowed to sit in on classes with other learners and form part of the lessons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leetz said the aim was to get them to experience that \u201cschool can be enjoyable\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey also spent time in our computer lab, for some of them it was their first time in front of a computer. Many of them don\u2019t want to stand at traffic lights, but because of their circumstances, they don\u2019t have a choice. We wanted to show them these things are offered at school. We want them to understand that being in school is beneficial and fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The principal said they hoped the day encouraged these boys to make better choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\u201cYour conditions at home must not keep you away from school. School can be enjoyable. As Windermere Warriors we say, \u2018It does not matter where you come from, it matters where you are going\u2019.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Leetz explained the school had partnered with Limadi Industrial Projects, a skills-development company, which did a life-skills workshop with the boys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leetz added: \u201cA special thanks to Limadi Industrial Projects, which provided food and hygiene packages to the boys as well as a life-skills session. Thank you to our teachers and everyone involved. We hope to host these boys again and perhaps some others too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leetz said for these past 60 years the school had been a beacon of hope for the community, which wanted it to continue in this way, long into the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt has provided the necessary support to a community that is quite often beset with social obstacles. The area the school serves has grown tremendously over the past few decades. No longer is it only learners who reside in Kensington and Factreton. The school now has learners who live as far as Dunoon, Gugulethu, Khayelitsha and beyond. It is testimony to the service the school provides that learners want to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
