Thank You Caledonia Primary

Everyone at Katawa Primary was delighted to hear the news from their partner school, Caledonia primary in Saltcoats.  They admired the beautiful, specially made Christmas card which conveyed good wishes to all; this will be circulated around the school and then displayed for all visitors to view.  Specials thanks are extended to Caledonia for the Scottish gifts.

Staff and learners say "thank you Caledonia."

The school roll at Katawa Primary is now 580.  Interestingly there are now slightly more girls than boys attending.  Mr Mvula, DHT, said this was a sign that families are now recognising girls should be given the same opportunities as boys for a good education.  Recently, maize crops have been planted and now sweet potatoes will be planted in the newly created staff garden.  Hopefully the rains will arrive soon and the garden will thrive.  Today it was hot again, even at 9.00a.m. when we visited the school.  At break time some of the learners bought ice poles from the sellers costing 10 mkw and 20 mkw (malawian kwacha) to cool down.
