GRAAFF-REINET NEWS - Despite load shedding, the annual Diploma Ceremony for Kamdeboo Primary learners went off smoothly last Friday with over 100 learners receiving recognition for their achievements.
Cream of the crop was Urnestine Jantjies in grade 7A, with diplomas for seven subjects, and the trophy for the top achiever in grade 7.
In the rest of the school, the top three learners per year were recognised, as well as those with outstanding results in each learning area.
The following learners were awarded gold medals:
- Grade 1: Zahra Naeem, Bruneshia Lewies and Jeandre Andrew
- Grade 2: Granton de Jager, Rolen Booysen and Elvina Flippies
- Grade 3: Amy Kalaka and Chriswudine Wit
- Grade 4: Ezra Jacobs
- Grade 5: Amber de Jager
- Grade 6: Maurizio de Jager
- Grade 7: Urnestine Jantjies.
A diploma was also awarded to the learner in each class who had made the most progress.
The learners who had participated in various cultural activities were also acknowledged, including the WOW spelling competition and the Junior Landcare event.
Top sports girl was Roelene de Klerk, who gained provincial colours for shotputt. Breyton Prins won the award for the top rugby player.
The school was very grateful for the loan of a generator for the sound system, which was used for the musical items but unfortunately could not turn the ceiling fans. There was great relief for all when the power came back on soon after 11am!
