It has been such a pleasure to publish this magazine for you, our dear parents. Each edition is a privilege, giving us a window into the heart of this school and the remarkable children who fill it with energy, curiosity, and kindness. We are constantly inspired as we witness your children navigate challenges, embrace learning, and grow into resilient, thoughtful young people.
We see the struggles, the stress, the effort, and the courage. We see the moments when a child might stumble, and we see how those moments never define them. We see their determination, their moments of triumph, their creativity, and their shining personalities. Most importantly, we see you, our parents, standing beside them, celebrating victories big and small, and offering unwavering support. Thank you for allowing us this incredible perspective – it reminds us every edition why we love doing this job.
“Every child you see thriving carries with them the care of parents, the dedication of teachers, and the spirit of a community that believes in them.” – Anonymous
To the our wonderful Marketing Committee, Teachers, Admin Staff, Mr. Kruger, Mr. Fransman, Ms Sithole, SGB and the entire staff – we are deeply grateful. Your dedication, passion, and tireless work behind the scenes are evident in every page of this magazine, and more so in every corner of the school. Your love for these children, your commitment to growth, and your daily efforts to make the school a nurturing, thriving environment do not go unnoticed. Working with a team like you is an honour.
If we had to highlight a few things we truly love about Risidale, they would be the warmth and manners of the children – from the very first moment you step through the gate, you’re greeted with smiles and greetings that brighten your day. We love seeing the teachers and staff strive to be better every day, fostering a community of learning, care, and encouragement. And we love you, our parents – your pride, your support, your laughter, and your commitment – which together make this school a place where everyone can thrive.
As this year comes to a close, we reflect on the moments of growth, the friendships formed, the achievements celebrated, and the memories made. From our hearts to yours, thank you for letting us share in this journey. We wish your family safe travels, joyful holidays, and a new year filled with promise, laughter, and continued success.
Warm regards,
