Hawk Academy in Primrose was in full swing on Wednesday welcoming old and new learners to the school for the new academic year.<\/p>\n

Children were already settled into their classes to start work by 9am.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The school which started in 2016 with only 456 learners, has grown in leaps and bounds since opening and welcomed 146 Grade One learners this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been smooth sailing for us as most of our students were registered last year and only needed to be placed into their classes this morning.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe also noted a huge improvement from last year in the readiness of our learners.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is because parents were more prepared and helped to get their children ready for the new year of learning,\u201d said Agnes Mkhonto, the deputy principal.<\/p>\n

The generous R20 000 donation of stationery the school received from Dynamic Plastics<\/strong><\/a> last year, was also distributed to the learners.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe split the donation so that every child in every grade will get something,\u201d said Mkhonto.<\/p>\n

The school is situated at 12 Main Reef Road and can be contacted on 011 043 9895 or 079 430 8400 or by emailing hawkacademygp@gmail.com.<\/p>\n
