The guests at Dinwiddie Primary School\u2019s recent Mother and Daughter Tea Party, held at the school, dressed to the nines.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis was one of the events held in celebration of the school\u2019s 50th birthday,\u201d said the department head of guidance, Jennifer Kingsley.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThis event was aimed at celebrating the girls and their mothers, which ties in well with Women\u2019s Month.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former student of the school Yingesani Nyambi was the guest speaker for the day and she encouraged the audience always to set goals in life.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cIf you set goals and commit to achieving them you will be headed for success,\u201d said Yingesani.<\/p>\n

Raffles and lucky draws, and two stalls selling jewellery and sweet treats were among the activities on the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was amazing to see the confidence grow in the children as they took part in the day\u2019s activities and the mothers were proud of their daughters,\u201d said Jennifer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to the teachers who came together and worked hard to make all this happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lethabo (11) and Innocentia Moloto were happy to have attended the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was very nice to bond with our daughters; such events must be held more often as they inspire our daughters to succeed in life,\u201d said Innocentia.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was lovely; it was also nice to show off our pretty clothes to our friends,\u201d said Lethabo.<\/p>\n

It was all smiles and laughter as mothers and daughters networked.<\/p>\n

Jennifer, who has been with the school for 36 years, said the school might host more events to continue their 50th anniversary celebration.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking to have a movie night and a gala dinner later in the year,\u201d said Jennifer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith all the years I have been at the school, I can say that it is a good school.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe value all of our students and we aim to create individuals who will be responsible and ready to cope in the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have an open-door communication with the parents and going forward we look forward to maintaining the high standard.\u201d<\/p>\n
