As you all know the school which we would like to assist is the Kayamandi Primary School in Stellenbosch. In this blog we would like to give you a little bit more information on this school.

The school was established in 2008, the current principle is Mr M Mdekazi. We heard about this school from one of our team members whose mother is a teacher at the school.




When we were issued this project and were given the scope thereof; we concluded that Kayamandi would be the perfect beneficiary for this project.

 The Vision of the School

We want effective teaching and learning with SOLID FOUNDATION and STRONG PILLARS that are co-operative in a WELL EQUIPPRED SCHOOL with SAFE and DISCIPLINED ENVIRONMENT, so that LEARNERS CAN EXCELL in their RESULTS.

In the last 4 years the school made major strides in educating the learners of the community and beyond. They are however faced with various challenges. With the rapid growth the school has to cope with lack of various resources such as:

• Cold winters in the area which results in leaking classes
• Extremely hot weather conditions in the summer causing learners to collapse of the heat
• The school does not currently have a sick bay
• Some of the classrooms are makeshift containers (see pictures 2 and 3)
• The School does not have enough toilet facilities for boys and girls (see picture 4)

The physical activity and sports fields are outside the school terrain as a result of  insufficient space at the school (see pictures 7 - 9)
