Soneike High School unveiled its new hall and fully equipped science laboratory last week made possible by a generous donation from the South African Muslim Charitable Trust (SAMCT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Principal Ronel Baker said Soneike High School, made up of temporary structures, is the epitome of grit, which she explained is \u201ccourage, strength of character, someone with passion, someone who takes a different route and always finds a route to get to what they want\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As they can\u2019t always rely on the education department for support with everything, they must hustle, she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have to ask. That is how this relationship (with SAMCT) started.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker said she sent many emails out to get help with the school\u2019s literacy campaign following the launch of the Department of Basic Education\u2019s \u201cRead to Lead campaign\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This led to the school being the first recipient of mobile libraries (units with books that could be moved around) in the Western Cape in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time the school also identified a need for a science laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe moved the mobile libraries into classes and closed our library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The structure became a classroom and books were placed in storage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker kept a conversation going with the \u201cRead to Lead campaign\u201d ambassador, Ahmed Motala (CEO of New Africa Education Foundation), after the delivery of the mobile libraries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was trying to get our learners excited for a library. He (Motala) said they can\u2019t help, as they only help rural schools.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vision<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Baker kept asking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn 2019 when I asked, he said: \u2018Wait, Mrs Baker, contact my wife, she is part of SAMCT\u2019.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A conversation started with Rasheeda Motala, corporate social investment administrator at the SAMCT, but the pandemic put paid to the vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHearing about the school\u2019s desire to introduce a lab in support of their sustainable agriculture project, the SAMCT responded by sponsoring a functional science laboratory and hall, collectively valued at R570 000,\u201d Rasheeda Motala said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faried Boltman, trustee of SAMCT, said at the opening last week the school stands out for its agriculture project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis fits in entirely with the objectives of the trust \u2013 to assist in education, health, poverty alleviation, community development and empowerment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boltman said it is important for the trust to understand what the schools\u2019 vision is so that they can be assisted in achieving their goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen we come to a particular project, we want to see the school is deserving. We encourage the principal and management of the school to come forward and present what they want, and how we can assist them.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boltman explained during the pandemic the trust shifted its focus to feeding people and medical assistance but is now back on track with projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a good relationship with the education department \u2013 we understand they cannot do everything, and we try to assist wherever we can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boltman said the SAMCT spends on average around R20 million a year on projects and facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe get many applications. This school and its management have shown they are forward-thinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe science lab and agriculture project are a great thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEveryone knows we must eat, and we need to understand where food comes from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The science laboratory will support natural, physical, agricultural and life sciences, whilst also contributing to the schools\u2019 sustainable agricultural project, linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project fosters an understanding of urban agriculture and the need to ensure food security and food sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SAMCT also sponsored a hall that can be used as two classrooms when partitions are in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his word of thanks deputy principal Leon Hanslo said the trust gave the school more potential \u2013 \u201cto multiply what we have\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dWe have a vision, but a lot falls by the wayside if there is no support for vision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hanslo said the hall is already used every afternoon and sometimes overbooked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is one thing sorely lacking at our school and that is a complete library space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have drawn plans. Our children come with great results, yet they can\u2019t read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey say our school is a \u2018hokkie skool\u2019 \u2013 but we are on top of the food chain of hokkies. Our children are our future, and we are thankful that we are going to make them better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to show the world our children have brains for math and science,\u201d Hanslo said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
