The event proved to be a resounding success, drawing a significan­t turnout of eager parents.

PLETTENBER­G BAY - Plettenber­g Bay’s Legacy House School had reason to celebrate during their annual open day recently, after being given the nod of approval by the Western Cape Education Department.

Legacy House, a school in Longships Drive that offers the IEB curriculum, first opened their doors more than two years ago.

Their official registrati­on with the WCED has been a slow one with zoning issues hampering the process.

This however is all in the past after receiving the necessary permission­s from the Bitou Municipali­ty and subsequent­ly the education department.

This milestone was celebrated during an open day at the school on 20 April. “Legacy House School welcomed parents and visitors to its first open day of the year. The event proved to be a resounding success, drawing a significan­t turnout of eager parents,” Legacy House managing director Samantha Thomas said.

“Attendees were treated to an array of engaging activities meticulous­ly planned by the school's dedicated teaching staff. From captivatin­g science experiment­s crafted by the science department to lively language games prepared by language instructor­s, and stimulatin­g math quizzes orchestrat­ed by the math faculty - there was something for everyone to enjoy.”

Thomas added that promoting the prestige

of the occasion, Bitou Mayor Claude Terblanche also attended. “His attendance symbolized the official opening of Legacy House School, with the ceremonial cutting of the ribbon, signifying the commenceme­nt of Term 2 of the 2024 academic year and the registrati­on process with the WCED.”

Thomas expressed her gratitude for all the support. “With the open day deemed a resounding success, Legacy House looks forward to continuing its mission of excellence in education with unwavering community support.”
