The learners at Harmony Primary School can look forward to practising yoga and going on educational excursions after they celebrated their satellite classroom which was launched at their school field on Wednesday 14 May.

The new classroom was sponsored through a partnership between the Earthchild Project and the Yope Foundation, according to marketer Mandy Abrahams.

She said: "With ongoing attention on the safety of children in communities such as Lavender Hill, Grassy Park, Retreat and Steenberg, where daily headlines speak of trauma, violence and educational disruption, the question of how to protect and support learners remains at the forefront.

"During Child Protection Month (May), we decided to mark the opening of a new classroom at Harmony Primary School. This initiative responds to the realities children face in under-resourced communities across the Cape Flats, where resilience is tested and where structured, positive spaces are often limited."
