📚✨ World Book Day at Carpe Diem School! 📚✨

What a magical day at our school! Today, our learners and staff stepped into the pages of their favourite stories as they dressed up as beloved book characters. From brave heroes to whimsical figures, the corridors were filled with imagination, joy, and storytelling brought to life. 🌟

Each costume, each smile, and each moment shared today reminded us of the power of stories to include, inspire, and celebrate every individual in their own unique way. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who made the day so special. Your enthusiasm and spirit made it truly unforgettable!
📖 Keep reading, keep dreaming, and keep believing in the magic of stories.

Congratulations to Ms Amori van Niekerk and Ms Talisha du Toit on celebrating their graduation at a recent ceremony! 🎓✨

Although they successfully completed their teaching degrees last year, it was a special and meaningful moment to officially celebrate this achievement at their graduation function.

We are so proud to have you both as part of the Carpe Diem family. Amori, as a valued substitute teacher, and Talisha, as a dedicated teacher in our ASD unit, you each bring compassion, commitment, and care to our learners every day.

May this milestone be a reminder of how far you have come and the many lives you will continue to impact along the way.

Baie dankie aan Eden Gemeente, George vir julle besondere donasie van onderklere aan die leerders van Carpe Diem Skool.
Dit is dalk nie iets wat sigbaar is vir die wêreld nie, maar dit maak ’n diep verskil in leerders se lewens. Hierdie gebaar gee iets kosbaars terug — waardigheid, selfrespek en die gevoel dat iemand omgee.
Ons is opreg dankbaar vir julle oop harte en omgee vir ons leerders. Julle het ’n stille, maar kragtige verskil gemaak.

A heartfelt thank you to Eden Gemeente, George for your generous donation of underwear to the learners of Carpe Diem School.
While it may not be visible to others, this gift makes a meaningful and tangible difference in the lives of our learners. Acts like these offer more than just practical support — they restore dignity, self-worth, and a sense of being cared for.
We are truly grateful for your kindness and compassion. You have made a quiet, yet powerful impact.
