Grade 1's on an Adventure: Exploring Their New World 🌍🏫
Friday was an exciting day for the Grade 1 learners at Saints Christian School. These young adventurers got to explore their new school in a fun and interactive way – by using a map to find key areas! 🔍🗺️
A Practical Way to Learn
Armed with their maps, the Grade 1s moved around the school, locating important spaces they’ll call home. From classrooms and playgrounds to the library and school hall, they uncovered every corner. This wasn’t just a walk around – it was a hands-on way to get comfortable in their new surroundings while learning valuable skills like orientation and teamwork. 🏫📚
Fun and Learning Combined
“The kids had so much fun following their maps,” said [teacher’s name], one of the coordinators of the day. “They truly embraced the experience as an adventure.” Each stop along the way brought new discoveries, with plenty of laughter and even a few shared stories between friends. 😄🎒
The Value of Exploration
This adventure wasn’t just about finding their way around; it also helped build confidence. The learners discovered how to navigate independently, solve problems, and use their map-reading skills – a great foundation for the future, both in and out of the classroom.
A Big Thank You to the Saints Team 🙌
A huge thanks to the teachers and staff at Saints Christian School for making this day so memorable. With such an amazing start, this year promises to be full of learning and growth for these Grade 1s. We can’t wait to see what’s next! 🌟

Saints Christian School’s U/19 Girls Crowned North-West SA20 Champions
🏏🏆 🏏🏆 🏏🏆 🏏🏆 🏏🏆
Saints Christian School’s unbeaten u/19 girls cricket team has added another accolade to their impressive season, claiming the SA20 North-West Championship after a dominant victory against Matlosana Hub in the final held at the J.B. Marks Oval.🏆This triumph not only showcases the talent and hard work of the team, but also sees them proudly representing North-West in the national tournament later this year.
Strong Performance with Bat and Ball
The foundation for Saints’ victory was laid with the bat, as they posted a competitive total of 139/5 in their 20 overs. Despite losing two early wickets, captain Tshegofatso Monyela held the innings together with a crucial 44 off 36 balls, continuing her strong form throughout the season.
Her partnership with Jessica “Chief” Joshua, who played a composed and unbeaten knock of 50* from 43 balls, helped Saints recover and build a solid total.💙💙 Jessica, leading from the front, struck six boundaries and maintained a healthy strike rate of 116.28, providing the stability needed in a tense final.
Jessica’s partnership with Diarabilwe Ngubeni, who contributed a valuable 23 off 18 balls, was pivotal in shifting the momentum. Their 52-run stand came at a critical time, ensuring that Saints could post a competitive total despite early setbacks.
Saints’ Bowlers Seal the Victory
Saints’ bowlers were relentless from the very start of Matlosana Hub’s innings. The team applied pressure with disciplined bowling, starting with economic spells from Gogontle “Gigi” Padi (0/16 in 4 overs) and Reabetswe Dithipe (1/13 in 4 overs).🏏 Reabetswe also took the important wicket of Lerato Koitokoane, with a brilliant caught-and-bowled effort that set the tone for the rest of the innings.
The fielding was equally impressive, and Saints’ energy on the field lifted the team as the wickets began to fall. The first breakthrough came at 21/1, igniting jubilant celebrations both on and off the field.✨ The crowd’s support grew louder with every wicket as Matlosana Hub struggled to gain any momentum.
Tshegofatso Monyela played a key role with the ball as well, claiming 2/19 with her tight spin bowling. Along with Siphokazi Duma, who kept the pressure on, the pair ensured that Matlosana Hub could never build a meaningful partnership. In the end, Matlosana fell more than 30 runs short of Saints’ total, giving the Saints’ girls a well-deserved victory.
A Testimony to Hard Work and Support
This win is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the Saints’ coaching staff, who have been instrumental in developing the girls’ skills and fostering a winning mentality throughout the season.🔥🔥 The players demonstrated not only their talent but also their big match temperament, handling the pressure of the final with composure and confidence.
The support from parents and school staff also played a key role, creating a unified and positive atmosphere that helped the girls perform at their best. The scenes of joy at the end of the match highlighted just how much this win meant to everyone involved.
Looking Forward to Nationals
With the North-West title secured, Saints Christian School’s u/19 girls now set their sights on the national tournament, where they will represent their province. The team will no doubt carry this momentum forward and look to continue their unbeaten streak on the bigger stage.
This achievement serves as an inspiration to the entire school community, showcasing the incredible talent and determination of these young cricketers.Congratulations to the Saints’ u/19 girls, and best of luck as they prepare for the next challenge!🎉

Accountability as a Superpower: A Lesson for Life
🙌✨ 🙌✨ 🙌✨ 🙌✨ 🙌✨ 🙌✨
This past Friday and Monday, our learners were inspired by meaningful lessons that highlighted the importance of accountability and its transformative power. Through engaging talks and biblical reflections, they gained valuable insights on how to live with purpose and integrity.
The Prodigal Son: A Lesson in Significance
Teacher Sylvia led an impactful discussion based on the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-18). The story offered learners a deeper understanding of grace, forgiveness, and the importance of taking responsibility for one’s actions. A key takeaway from her lesson was the challenge to “make yourself significant” – to take ownership of your life and contribute positively to the world around you.
Accountability: A Superpower for the Young Ones
Teacher Loise brought the message home for the grade 1-3 learners, presenting accountability as a “superpower” that can make the world a better place. She encouraged them to let their actions reflect the heart of Jesus – to show kindness, love, and responsibility in all they do. This lesson was not just a reminder of their values but a call to action to live more like Jesus every day. 🏆💛
Building Strong Foundations
These lessons are more than just classroom teachings; they are tools that help shape our learners into compassionate and responsible individuals. By understanding the significance of accountability, our learners are empowered to make wise decisions, support their peers, and positively influence their communities.💪🌟
We are so proud of the way our learners embraced these lessons, and we look forward to seeing how they use their “superpower” of accountability to make a difference.

Grade 3s Explore the Magic of Colour Mixing in Art Class
🎨😊 🎨😊 🎨😊 🎨😊 🎨😊
Our grade 3 learners recently got hands-on with colours in a fun and creative art session led by Teacher Larnese! 🎨😊 This special lesson was all about discovering the magic that happens when different colours meet – and the results were nothing short of amazing.
Teacher Larnese began with a quick demo, showing the class how mixing one colour with another can create an entirely new shade. The learners watched with wide eyes as primary colours combined to form greens, purples, and oranges. From there, it was time for them to get creative on their own!
With brushes in hand and palettes filled with colourful paint, the kids eagerly experimented, blending colours to see what they could create. The room was soon buzzing with excitement as each learner proudly showcased their unique colour creations.🖌️👏✨
This hands-on experience allowed the grade 3s to express themselves artistically while learning a bit about colour theory. It’s safe to say the learners left the class inspired and ready to continue their artistic journeys!Well done, grade 3s, and a big thank you to Teacher Larnese for bringing out the artist in each of our learners!
