Young Ambassador­s spread their wings

-

Education is known to be a powerful weapon. Young Ambassador­s Primary School (YAPS), an affordable private school, is now situated at a new location in Delville Park and offers quality education in a family environmen­t. YAPS was previously situated in Victoria Street, but has been settling in nicely at their new premises, 9 Square Hill Street, Pacaltsdor­p, over the past four months.

Principal Jacques Vorster said since it opened its doors in 2014, YAPS has been driven by five fundamenta­l values: love, family, integrity, respect and quality. In its first year, the school accommodat­ed only Grade 1 learners. Today the school has six teachers and accommodat­es learners up to Grade 4. In 2019 Grade 5 learners will also be accommodat­ed. "Our teachers are profession­ally qualified. All staff members are young, vibrant and willing to go the extra mile for the learners. Quality education is important to us," says Vorster.

YAPS follows the criteria of the national Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS). The school offers homework and aftercare facilities and learners can participat­e in an expanding sports programme. With help from organisati­ons, management of this NPO hopes to expand the school in the near future - in accordance with their motto, "Spread your wings."

Organisati­ons who would like to donate to YAPS or parents interested in registerin­g their kids at YAPS are welcome to contact Vorster on 044 873 3097 or visit the school at their dashing new premises.
