PRIMARY HEALTH CARE VISIT TO DELTA PRIMARY
Delta Primary expresses thanks and appreciation to the nurse and staff as part of their visit to the school on Thursday 24 October 2024. During the visit learners’ eyes were tested with the aim of the learners being issued a set of spectacles.
DRILLING MARCHING COMPETITION
Learners at Delta represented the school with finesse and dedication on 23 October 2024 at the community facility in Lavender Hill. Delta Primary was able to snatch 5 awards in a variety of categories. We extend appreciation to Sgt Luqmaan Adams, Steenberg SAPS senior management, Steenberg CPF chair Gavin Walbrugh, the ambulance services, the neighborhood watch and the facility coordinators for making the day a huge success. To the drill squad learners we say GREAT JOB !
DELTA PAGEANTÂ
For consecutive years Delta Primary like other schools in our community have hosted a self-esteem pageant for learners. The coordinator Clive Jacobs, who is very  passionate about creating enabling platforms for children,has once again partnered the school to host the annual pageant. The platform was created as a counter-balance to the negative narrative within the immediate area. The focus of the pageant is to share the message with our children, that they can thrive amidst the numerous challenges in the community. It MUST be emphasized that the pageant has its roots in building individual self-esteem and not comparing children based on external variances. During the practice sessions Clive makes a concerted effort to build the self esteem of all the learners in the group. We are thus encouraging the Delta community to come out in their numbers to support our children and young people.
Due to logistical reasons the pageant has been rescheduled for 29 November 2024. Entrants to the pageant will be charged R20. Spectators will be charged R20 ( adults) and children under the age of 14 will be charged R10
LEARNERS AND THEIR SCHOOL UNIFORM
It is a sad sight to behold how some of our learners are dressed given that the school uniform is so easily accessible and the framework in which the school has accommodated all stakeholders creates the space for all children to be neatly dressed.We are including in this communique what all children should be wearing on a daily basis to school.
Dear parents, let’s help our children to be well dressed on a daily basis. Their dress code negatively influences their experience at school (self-esteem). So let’s help the children.
CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
October is Cancer Awareness month. This silent enemy has touched many families lives and upon reflection changed many people’s lives. We salute the survivors and remember those who have passed on. We encourage all to get tested ! The pink ribbon symbolises our solidarity with those who have been affected.
