Kutliso awards excelling pupils

Guest speaker at the Kutliso Daniels Secondary School prize-giving Lulama Mciteka encouraged pupils to reach for the sky, but warned against watching too much television.

Guest speaker at the Kutliso Daniels Secondary School prize-giving Lulama Mciteka encouraged pupils to reach for the sky, but warned against watching too much television.

On Wednesday last week Mciteka, currently doing post-doctoral studies in chemistry at Rhodes University, said that education began on the continent in Egypt, so black people mustn't be afraid to study further.

He encouraged parents to help children reach their goals and urged them to stop watching television with their kids. We are becoming strangers in our houses because of television. As a result we don't engage with our children any more, he said.

The morning ceremony also included live performances by pupils of poetry, beat boxing, hip hop and the school choir. An enthusiastic Kutliso choir kept interrupting the programme by bursting into song in their impatience to take to the stage.

Kutliso teachers Dr Phindiwe Piko and Lungelwa Mayalo handed awards over to about 52 pupils for academic diligence, academic merits, excelling in particular subjects and neatness. Nosiphelo Chithani won the main award of a trophy and three books for her academic diligence.

Then Rev Dumile Monakali and Mayalo handed out the special awards, which went to supporters of the Methodist church, Apostolic Faith Mission – God's Glory Assembly, the Grahamstown Retired Teachers Association and learner support agent Nobantu Mancam who checks up on kids at home among performing other duties.

Principal Zonwabele Mcuba addressed the assembly, emphasising the need to motivate and encourage school children to study.
Then chairperson of the School Governing Body Mfundo Tima left the pupils with an inspirational message to mull over. Most times people are born with 100% blessings, he said. But the ability for everyone to reach those blessings depends on their actions.
