Police visit Acaciavale Primary School
Acaciavale Primary School would like to extend their sincerest gratitude to the local SAPS for visiting the school to speak to their learners about extremely important topics that affect us all. The discussions – on bullying, the importance of attending school, and assault – were enlightening and thought-provoking; and the school appreciates the time the officers took to engage with the learners. 'It's heartening to see our community come together to support the well-being and education of our young people. We recognise that these issues are not just school problems, but societal ones that require a collective effort to address. As a school, we are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for all our learners, and we are grateful for the police service's contribution to this effort. We also acknowledge that there is always room for growth and improvement, and we will continue to work together with our community to ensure that our learners feel safe, supported and empowered to succeed.
