Klapmuts High School's inaugural Grade 12 class receives career guidance and resources

Pupils from Klapmuts High School’s first-ever Grade 12 class were given career guidance and academic support during a career expo and stationery drive held at the school on Thursday, January 29.

The initiative, organised by Shincheonji Volunteers, aimed to assist matric pupils as they prepare for life after school by providing information on post-school options and essential learning resources.

Klapmuts High School recently took to social media to introduce its first Grade 12 cohort.

"As you prepare to step into your final year, we are proud to announce that you will be our school’s very first Grade 12 class. This is a special moment in our school’s history, and you are the pioneers who will shape it. We believe in your potential and the example you will set for all the grades that follow. Step into this milestone with confidence and a commitment to excellence," the school posted on Facebook.

The principal of the high school, Donovan Mackier, expressed gratitude to the Shincheonji Volunteers for their support.

With pupils nearing the end of their secondary education, the event focused on career planning, tertiary education opportunities, and skills development.

During the expo, pupils received guidance on goal-setting and the various options available to them after completing school, according to Ryan Gwanyanya, the spokesperson of Shincheonji Volunteers.

"Stationery packs were distributed to assist with academic preparation and included essential learning materials such as pens, pencils, exercise books, rulers, erasers, mathematical sets, files, and folders," he said.

Community members worked with Shincheonji Volunteers and partner organisations to carry out the programme.
