Tholulwazi Primary school

1. Athletics.
In terms of athletics, there will be dancing where learners will learn the skill of perseverance. Dance teaches learners about culture. it will help learners develop physically and mentally as most forms of dance require discipline and strong body.
Since there is a lot of learners who get bullied in school, the school has organised self defense classes where learners will learn how to defend themselves, learn about friendship, courage, bravery and support. Self defend classes will teach learners self- control and self discipline, aspects which will benefit those children suffering from ADHD as they are have the skills that are underdeveloped in them. they also help in physical development in the child.

2. Creativity.
Learners will learn about painting and sketching, that will improve their creativity and imagination. This will also allow learners with disability to take part in the program. Learners will improve their creative skills as their brain will begin to develop the areas associated with creativity the more they are exposed to and works with creative things- painting and sketching can help develop problem solving skills.
The learners will also take part in role playing drama that will help learners to improve their confidence in talking with others and also improve their public speaking skills. Drama helps learners develop physical, artistic and social skills. It also improves the child memory and improvisation skills. Often shy children who have a talent for acting become more confident and social through drama clubs.

3. Book club.
Book clubs are a great way for little book worms to have their fun and socialise with other book lovers. Many things can be gained from a book club- not only will the literature itself teach learners a lot about the world, the way it works and so much more, but it will also help them develop their reading skills, which will have a tremendous impact on their writing skills.

4. Craft, Pottery and Sculpting.
Working with clay and creating something with their hands can give a child a sense of satisfaction that is not found through just any activity. Clay can have a therapeutic effect and is capable of keeping you child occupied for hours. The learners will develop sensory and motor skills through creative works. Children will learn about shapes, the three-dimensional world and even need to have a form of discipline, especially when working with clay.

5. Debates.
From improving speaking and listening skills to building self esteem, learning to debate could have many benefits for a learner. Debating teaches learners to reason with evidence, expression and delivery- being able to speak with the right pace, tone, language and body language to engage an audience and convey an argument, listing and responding- listening critically to the other sides argument and using what you hear to develop a well- reasoned response, organisation and prioritisation- knowing ow to structure your speaking and when to say the things you want to say.

6. Spelling bee.
Tholulwazi encourages learners to enter spelling bee competitions (both learners with and without disability). This will allow learners to learn grammar like learn the definition, pronunciation, and roots of the word. They will also enhance vocabulary- develop an ability to understand more words will allow the learners to become literate and enjoy reading extensive range of material. The learners will develop a competitive spirit- spelling bees allow individuals to compete in a supportive environment. The brain activity and excitement that goes with a spelling bee is just as stimulating as a physical competition. Spelling bee will instill greater knowledge to the learners- learning words can get students interested in tracing the origin of a word and its etymology. Spelling bee improves cognitive skills of the learners- the spelling bee will allow your child to develop a range of cognitive skills including the ability to handle pressure. Spelling bee improves the learners confidence- a learners confidence level is usually boosted after entering into such competitions. A spelling bee helps them gain the confidence they need to speak in public and accept their mistakes, while also getting the applause their hard work deserves.

Community-school relations to support learners’ learning 
The partnership involve use of school and neighbourhood facilities and equipment; sharing other resources; collaborative fund raising and grant applications; volunteer assistance from parents; mentoring and training from professionals and others with special expertise; information sharing and dissemination; networking; recognition and public relations; shared responsibility for planning, implementation and evaluation of programs and services; expanding opportunities for internships, jobs, recreation and building a sense of community.
Mentorship program between community members and students.
This focuses on all students as they could benefit. On a designated day during the week, students meet with their mentors in the first 20-25 minutes after students arrive in the morning. They meet in the library to read a book or play a board game, in the gym to shoot baskets, in the school garden to water plants, or even in the hallway for a walk. We invited community leaders, business owners, grandparents, parents of teenagers, and even high school students to apply to be a mentor.
Parents volunteering.
We ask families to participate in bake sales, lemonade stands, or car washes to raise funds for school supplies. It provides an opportunity for them to spend time with us, they ask questions, and see us in our element. In additional, we invite parents to talk about their careers and skills. This will enable them to connect with their child’s classmates and to become an active participant in the classroom.
