On receipt of the tablets, the teachers had to prepare for the classes and download free apps to assist them with their teaching. The tablets are stored in secure charging units and locked up every night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addressing the teachers, Willy Watson, president of the Rotary Club of Tygerberg thanked them &#8220;for their unwavering dedication and commitment to our children. You are the foundation of our education system, and your work is invaluable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vissershok Primary School, which celebrates its 53rd anniversary this year, accommodates 325 foundation phase learners in nine classes \u2014 many of whom are from Du Noon and a few from surrounding farms. Founded in 1977 by minister AP van Wyk, a respected pastor who established several schools in the area, Vissershok began with just 100 learners, a principal and two teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"855\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"315891\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/pic7_95210-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/PIC7_95210-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1438\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"PIC7_95210\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;A learner from Vissershok Primary School is trying her new skills on a tablet.

They come from Klipheuwel, Fisantekraal and surrounding farms. Under the leadership of Loretta Loggenberg, principal, the school is filled with energy, purpose and heart. Known for her unwavering commitment to her learners, she spoke passionately about the importance of daily attendance. \u201cOur children must be at school every day; this is where their future begins.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"867\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"315890\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/pic5_34996-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/PIC5_34996-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1417\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"PIC5_34996\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Grade 3 learners of Fisantekraal Primary School on tablet.

Photo: Caroline Steenekamp<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Loggenberg also highlighted how blended learning is transforming classrooms, particularly for learners who do not have access to technology at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBlended learning in our foundation-phase classes is implemented through structured small-group rotations. While one group receives focused, individual support from the teacher, another practises phonics or mathematics on the tablets, and a third group completes written tasks. Groups rotate daily, ensuring all learners benefit from both personalised teacher interaction and access to technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Said Watson: &#8220;Equally powerful was hearing from the teachers, who are already seeing real impact in their classrooms. These devices are freeing up valuable teacher time for one-on-one learner support; strengthening mathematics and reading skills through interactive, blended learning; teaching responsible and respectful use of digital tools and enabling teachers to track individual progress and identify learners who need additional support.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spin-offs\">Spin-offs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe project has had spin-offs in unexpected ways,&#8221; Watson said. &#8220;Class discipline has improved, making the task of the teacher much easier. Schools can potentially start offering coding and robotics at foundation level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;But perhaps the biggest bonus has been the freeing up of resources to the benefit of the higher grades. Many schools have only one computer lab shared across all grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;With the foundation phase now having access to technology, time in the computer laboratories has been freed-up for the benefit of the higher grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"783\" data-attachment-id=\"315889\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/pic1_05187-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/PIC1_05187-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,917\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"PIC1_05187\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Here at the handover at Fisantekaal Primary School are (from left) Loretta Loggenberg (principal at Fisantekraal Primary School), Gail and John Yorke (Rotary Club of Tygerberg), Gillian and Willy Watson (Rotary Club of Tygerberg), Liezl Kramer (teacher) and Retha Luijk (teacher).

Despite delays, their generosity and commitment have turned this vision into a reality. We are still looking at implementing the project at another two schools and would welcome the support of the local community and local businesses to partner with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is Rotary in action. Our club would like to thank The Rotary Foundation, our international partner; the Rotary Club of Kristiaanstad in Sweden, represented by G\u00f6ran and Kerstin Anderberg, Rotary Districts 2395 and 9530 and the Rotary Club of Niwot in America. Furthermore, we received support from DGMT, Lewis Stores, The Lorenzo and Stella Chiappini Trust, and the Durbanville community who have supported us through the 40 Protea Way Open Gardens events,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>.
