Word of thanks from parents

THE growing list of achievements this year in stabilising Jeffreys Bay Comprehensive High School and increasing its functionality has been like music to the ears of SGB chairman Pastor Robin Jantjies.

“Garth Jacobs has truly been our saviour and we are very satisfied with the Department of Education for playing their part in solving the bulk of our problems,” Jantjies said.

“I have two sons in the school – Johrin in Grade 11 and Johan in Grade 8.

“Since they started with sport at the school this year, Johan has been playing rugby and has been chosen for the Sarah Baartman District rugby team. This makes a parent proud.”

Another satisfied parent and one of the SGB starting members, Siyanda Camagu, said: “The department heard our cry for help and sorted out our lack of classrooms and teachers and we now even have a fully-functional science lab for which I am very grateful, as my daughter in Grade 11, Phelokazi, takes it as a subject.

“Under the strong leadership of Mr Jacobs, the school is stabilising,” she said, adding that the teachers gave of their utmost as well.

“I am so happy that after all the negative publicity, the school will finally be officially opened this Friday and be in the news for all these positive changes instead,” she said.
