Staff member of the month

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Ms Laura Radloff, one of our dedicated Occupational Therapists, who has been recognised by WCSAII Sport for her exceptional involvement and leadership as a Provincial Sport Code Convener for 2025.

Among coordinators for football, cricket, table tennis, basketball, netball, and athletics, Ms Radloff was selected for the outstanding way she runs her code at provincial level. Through sport, she continues to create meaningful opportunities for our learners, making a lasting impact both on and off the field.

Well done on this well-deserved achievement!

LSEN Interschools Athletics Highlights

Yesterday, Christo Mashiya and Lee-Haygen Goliath proudly represented Alta at the LSEN Interschools Athletics, attended by many Schools of Skills. Both athletes competed in the 100m and 200m heats for possible qualification.

Christo was seeded 1st, with Lee-Haygen close behind in 2nd — an excellent performance from both! They ran with determination and sportsmanship, representing Alta exceptionally well both on and off the field.

A big thank you to Mrs Johanna Kotze from Westcliff School of Skills as well as Mr Jan Kotze and Mrs Elze for arranging this opportunity. Christo and Lee-Haygen thoroughly enjoyed the experience and returned with big smiles and great memories.

Hairstyling Skills in Action

We are thrilled to welcome Mrs Christel Basson, a qualified hairdresser by occupation, to the Alta du Toit family! She will be training learners in the Senior and Occupational Phase, sharing her passion, expertise, and real-world hairdressing skills.

From the moment the training begins, you can see the enthusiasm, curiosity, and confidence on our learners faces.

Learners are mastering:

Professional blow-drying and styling techniques

Safe and correct use of heat-styling tools, including curling irons and straighteners

Proper salon hygiene, safety, and technique

This programme is not just about hair — it’s about building confidence, independence, and workplace readiness, and our learners are loving every moment of it!

Donations of hairdressing equipment (hairdryers, curling irons, straighteners, brushes, etc.) are warmly welcomed and will be used exclusively for training purposes.

Thank you, Christel, for inspiring our learners and being part of the Alta du Toit journey!

School Orientation 2026

Our school’s orientation was filled with excitement, big smiles, and happy faces. Our new learners settled in beautifully, and the energy was truly heart-warming.

We shared all about our curriculum, sport, culture, and exit plans, and proudly introduced our theme for the year: “Mastery is Service.”

We are so excited to begin this journey with our new learners and their families and can’t wait for a year of growth, purpose, and service together.

A Harvest of Sharing

We began our term function around a beautiful harvest table — a powerful symbol of sharing, connection, and gratitude. It reminded us that a harvest is not only about food, but about people coming together, engaging in meaningful interaction, and building relationships.

This gathering reflected the abundance we are blessed with at our school — our resources, shared knowledge, and the commitment we have to generously share these gifts with our learners and the wider community.

A heartfelt thank you to the Term 1 Function Committee for creating such a tranquil and welcoming atmosphere. The greenery, candlelight, and thoughtful décor were simply beautiful, and the delicious finger foods were enjoyed by all.
