Windy Heights Primary School

Teachers and learners joined our LEARN and Ignition teams in the proactive set-up process of each classroom transformation and great fun was had by all. From the cleaning and set up of book shelves, carpets and cushions, to the stock taking and placement of books and literacy charts, each classroom is now a bright and engaging space for learning and reading. Teachers enjoyed a literacy training workshop and already positive progress is being noted in the improvement of reading levels within the Foundation Phase.

The library set up was a joint team effort, with The LEARN team, volunteers, teachers, library monitors and Ignition Group. From clearing out the store room, to cleaning shelves, setting out books and putting up posters and resources, this was a significant transformation, resulting in the most beautiful, functional and sustainable library. Books were also covered in plastic by LEARN volunteers and Ignition Group in preparation for the library launch. Library monitors now wear their badges with pride and teachers are now confident to make the most of their beautiful library after completing the ‘Welcome to the library’ training course. We honour four Reddam House Umhlanga learners, Kirsty, Shea, Megan and Isabella for all the time they dedicated to covering hundreds of books for the Windy Heights library for their President Award hours.
