Awards Ceremony Grade 1 – 3 29 October 2026 @ 08:30 – 12:30 in School Hall
FOREWORD FROM THE ACTING PRINCIPAL “Firmly Forward” is what drives us at Roseview Primary School. ”Firmly Forward” on the rise to greatness is what drove parents for many years to be part of this institution. Roseview has grown from strength since its establishment in January 1994. Roseview has braved through many challenges and still stood strong. We are proud of our excellent track record in academics just as we take pride in our wide range of extra-curricular activities that we offer our learners. We believe that it is equally important to challenge our learners intellectually as it is to prepare them physically for the rigours of life. The year 2026 began with its usual hustle and bustle and thunderous reverberation of those young one’s (Grade 1’s) chatter with glee. The laughter of all learners is sheer delight and nothing inspires me more in my work as principle to see our children happy and enjoying their learning. We at Roseview know that success is not a destination but a journey believing a philosophy that victory belongs to most preserving. Each child at Roseview Primary has many opportunities to nurture his/her interest, passion and character, this all thanks to each teacher. While thanking the Almighty for his countless blessing, we thank all the (teachers, parents and learners) who made this year a sweet memory to carry to the next year. Today is a great day whereby we are awarding certificates to learners, to reward them for their hard work completed throughout the year and a heartfelt I want to display for all who have nurtured and supported. With God on our side and the continued support from the school community and our parents, together we can bring the best in every child! ______________ Mr. M. Ntono Acting principal

Slabbert, Me. Barnes, and the Principal. These assemblies provided an opportunity to communicate important school-related information, reinforce school values, and promote a sense of unity and belonging among learners. Learners were ex- pected to maintain appropriate discipline, demonstrate respectful behaviour, and adhere to the established code of conduct throughout each assembly. At the beginning of each term, learners who had excelled in academics, sport, and cultural activities were formally recognised and commended for their achievements. This acknowledgement served to celebrate their dedication, commitment, and perseverance, while also encouraging other learners to strive for excel- lence in their respective fields. The assemblies were conducted in an orderly and structured manner, contrib- uting to the promotion of discipline, mutual respect, and a positive school culture. 10. DISCIPLINARY SYSTEM
The Foundation Phase makes use of the Blue Card Disciplinary System to promote positive behaviour, rein- force adherence to school rules, and maintain a disciplined and conducive teaching and learning environ- ment. In the event of a learner violating the established school rules, a Blue Card will be issued and signed by the educator concerned. Should further disciplinary intervention be necessary, the matter will be esca- lated progressively to the grade head, departmental head, and ultimately the principal, depending on the na- ture and frequency of the offence. Parents or guardians will be informed of each recorded violation to ensure effective communication and col- laboration between the school and home. Where necessary, meetings will be arranged with the relevant par- ties to discuss the learner’s behaviour, identify possible contributing factors, and establish appropriate cor- rective measures. This structured approach aims to promote accountability, encourage positive behavioural changes, and ensure that learners understand the importance of respecting school rules and maintaining ap- propriate conduct. CLOSURE We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all stakeholders of Roseview for their invaluable support, dedication, and positive contributions throughout 2026. Your continued commitment, co-operation, and in- volvement have played a significant role in the growth and success of our school community. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work alongside each of you, and we sincerely appreciate the meaningful contri- butions you have made towards the achievement of our shared goals. We would also like to extend our heartfelt best wishes to our Grade 7 learners as they prepare to embark on the next chapter of their educational journeys. Having been part of the Roseview family for the past seven years, you leave behind a legacy of cherished memories, personal growth, and valuable experiences. As you transition to high school, may you continue to strive for excellence, embrace new opportunities, and ap- proach every challenge with confidence, determination, and integrity. You will always remain a valued part of the Roseview family, and we wish you every success in your future endeavours. 11. ACADEMIC 11.1 FOUNDATION PHASE (Grade 1 – 3) The Foundation Phase forms the cornerstone of every learner’s educational journey, laying the essential foundation for future academic achievement, personal development, and lifelong learning. It is during these formative years that learners acquire fundamental literacy and numeracy skills, develop social and emotional competencies, and begin to cultivate the knowledge, values, and attitudes necessary for success in their fu- ture education. During 2026, the Foundation Phase comprised 19 dedicated educators who worked tirelessly to provide quality teaching and learning opportunities for all learners. The phase consisted of six Grade 1 classes, five Grade 2 classes, and six Grade 3 classes. Sesotho was implemented across Grades 1 to 3, further promoting language development and supporting learners in their educational journey. Through the collective efforts of our educators, we continued to strive towards creating a supportive, inclusive, and stimulating learning envi- ronment in which every learner could reach their full potential. One of the most rewarding aspects of working in the Foundation Phase is witnessing the remarkable growth and development of our learners throughout the academic year. Learners enter the school environment with varying levels of confidence, independence, and readiness to learn. It is particularly encouraging to observe how even the shyest and most reserved learners gradually gain confidence, develop their communication
skills, establish friendships, and become more comfortable participating in classroom activities. These achievements, whether big or small, serve as a reminder of the importance of patience, encouragement, and dedicated teaching during the early years of education. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all our parents and guardians for their continued sup- port, involvement, and co-operation throughout the year. The partnership between the school and families plays a vital role in promoting learners’ academic progress, emotional well-being, and overall development. We recognise and value the contribution each parent makes towards ensuring a positive and productive edu- cational experience for their child. As we reflect on the year, we acknowledge the dedication and commitment of our educators, whose efforts continue to shape young minds and lay the groundwork for future success. We are proud of the progress made by our learners and remain committed to nurturing their potential in the years ahead. We wish all our learners, parents, educators, and the wider school community a blessed and peaceful festive season, filled with joy, rest, and cherished moments with loved ones. May the 2027 bring renewed hope, good health, happiness, and prosperity to all. We look forward to another successful year of teaching, learn- ing, and growth. Me. L. Barnes & Me. Slabbert 11.2 SUPPORT TEACHING Support teaching encountered enormous challenges this year. However learners who needed support were supported. The SNE and support educators joined a cluster of support educators and it really helped to overcome most of our challenges. The Inclusive Department of Education also assisted us with excellent guidance. Parents were highly involved. We can only applaud and thank these parents. Some learners were placed and are still being placed in relevant schools and classes. Their self-confidence improves when placed correctly. Thank you to all our community stakeholders for all their help. May 2027 be a blessed year. Me. N. Van Wyk 11.3 SPECIAL EDUCATION The year 2026 was yet another successful year for SNE class. The year began with fourteen new learners coming into the class needing support. The class thrived as learners expressed themselves trying their level best to get to the top of their capability. As the year unfolded some learners have been referred to different Special School and placement back to the mainstream. The year was a success, thankful to the Department of Education (District based support team), school management for their continued assistance and also the parents for their cooperation and frequent communication. Looking forward to a more fruitful 2027. Me. S. Makhele 12. SPORT
