New Class, New Memories

Like thousands of schools across the country, the recently-renamed KUSASA Academy celebrated the arrival of their new class on Wednesday, 11 January.

Academy Principal Marie-Louise Raymond says it was “a wonderful and exciting start of the new school year. Our energetic and excited teachers, dressed in their yellow dresses, welcomed their new classes with festive balloons, music and dancing.”

The academy has 150 learners this year. Most of them attended the academy in 2022 and so are “very familiar within the walls of our school and have adapted well to new teachers and routines.”

The 4-year-old new applicants, the grade 0s, have already spent almost 10 weeks at the Academy –since the end of 2022 – which greatly reduced the number of tears when mom and dad had to leave.

Celebrations continued on Wednesday, 12 January, with a parents’ meeting and a wonderful family picnic. The children dressed up and played, while the parents and teachers got to know each other better. “We made the most of the time we had to connect to celebrate our wonderful children and the privilege of a new school year together! These memories are the ones that last, the ones we need to hang on to when the year runs away with us,” concludes Principal Raymond.
