Among the messages of support presented by; SADTU, SADU, PEU, SENASE, NASGB and NEHAWU, was Mary-Ann Pretorius. "This [collaboration] is a clear indication of a brighter future.
A future with a stronger governing body of our education system. A future that embraces the RCL and includes our contributions in decision making."
Mary-Ann emphasized the need to collaborate as RCL and SGB, in an accountable, transparent and condusive manner in order to tackle the ills that learners today, currently face. "This launch is a clear indication that the department is taking us, as RCLs, seriously by acknowledging our voice to address the social ills in schools".
We are not only proud of how the RCLs represented our school, but also proud of the lasting impression they had left on all the stakeholders present.

At the pinnacle of their journey as Maffies, the class of 2023 and parents share a very special event with their educators.
This annual premier event marks the end of the Matrics' school career, where their parents get to sit with them at their final exam centre desk. As always, this was a joyous and a very emotional celebration.
