Africa-Press – South-Africa. As government schools opened on Wednesday for the new academic year, many parents have followed the online tradition of posting their “bundles of joy”.
At Rosebank Primary School in Johannesburg, parents experienced an easy morning as most pupils were happy to be at “big” school or reuniting with their friends. During the first period the lower grades were busy with their first activity of colouring and getting used to their seating arrangements.“None have made a fuss. They had a fun morning as some of them are returning. It’s been a smooth welcoming so far,” said a grade 2 teacher.
A parent, Mapula Diago, who came to finalise the admission of her daughter, said she was excited as her child is looking forward to the year.
“Dineo has been asking when is back to school for a week. She was tired of being at home. She is new at the school. Her father didn’t have to wake her up this morning, she was so eager and organised,” she said.
“I think this is a good school and things are fairly affordable, unlike other primary schools. We hope it is value for money, but so far we are happy with what we see.”
