Bored with Solomon Qatyana's boards?

Recently three facilitators visited Solomon Qatyana to get things going at the school who received Interactive Whiteboards, Data projectors and laptops.

After checking the hardware and doing the software installation it was time for a bit of experimentation. Learners were quick to try out writing with coloured pens on the board. Opening up videos and music created great excitement.

Recently the whole staff started with training on how to set up the Interactive Whiteboard and how to use it. The theme of integrating technology in their normal teaching practice was the foundation of the training. The facilitators opened Khanya LTSM to give educators a taste of software that can be used to supplement what they were doing. Educators felt positive about including new things in their teaching.

Opening a new building for COSAT

On 20 May 2011 COSAT opened their new school building in Khayelitsha. A band welcomed guests, which included MEC Donald Grant and the Head of Education, Penny Vinjevold.

The principal welcomed guests and a former learner of the school handled the Master of Ceremonies duties very well. After Mr Caroline, East District Director, welcomed the school back to the district again the choir rendered items in song. Three learners from Luhlaza delivered an operatic piece that was met with thunderous applause.


Before MEC Donald and the representative of SERI spoke the praise singer of the school delivered a spirited address to an enthusiastic audience who egged him on to do more.

Then it was time to thank all who made the school functional and Khanya's name was held high for contributing the ICT infrastructure, equipment and training. It is hoped that the school will continue to produce good results and that ICT will play a significant role in the learners' education.
