Welcome speech by the Principal—MR TA LANDMAN
I am excited and honoured to welcome each and every one of you to the beginning of a new school year at Mafikeng High School. This school year will be
a year of setting and reaching attainable goals, working harder and smarter
and taking our school and learners achievement to the next level of
“GREATNESS”. At Mafikeng High we are dedicated to a learner-centred programme that promotes academic excellence through an enriched, rigorous inter-disciplinary curriculum. As a staff, we are here to support all of you, by
any means necessary, to ensure you reach your fullest academic potential.
This year, you can look forward to encountering a highly intensive and challenging academic programme that will push you to work beyond your limits. However, I am confident that all of you have the capacity and ability to
meet our expectations and the demands of your new classes. Our goal is to
ensure that all learners become critical thinkers, active problem-solvers, inquisitive readers, diligent researchers and prolific writers. We do all of this to
prepare you for the demands of the real-world so you may become productive
citizens, become our future leaders, and contribute and/or give back something
positive to the community.
I look forward to working with all of you and pushing you to all academic
heights. On behalf of the staff of Mafikeng High, I want to again welcome all of
you and thank you for being a part of Mafikeng High School community
where SUCCESS IS NOT AN OPTION…..BUT AN EXPECTATION. We are truly on
the path to GREATNESS.
