Empowering Parents: Kleinberg Primary School’s Home School Partnership Programme

In Ocean View, South Africa, a group of parents has taken a proactive step towards their children’s bright future. These parents have completed an eight-week educational program aimed at empowering them to better support their children’s language and early literacy skills.

Better Collaboration Between Parents and the School

The Home School Partnership Programme (HSPP), administered by Wordworks, has facilitated better collaboration between parents and Kleinberg Primary School. The program recognizes the significant role parents can play in advancing their children’s language and early literacy development.

Benefits of the Home School Partnership Programme

The program has empowered parents to be more involved in their children’s education. According to Belinda Smit-Wright, the head of Kleinberg Primary School’s department, parents feel more confident and capable now to play a more prominent role in their child’s education. Graduates Akhona Manzi and Leona Hwenjira expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to learn and their eagerness to share their skills within their community.

Dedication of the Participants and Educators

The participants’ dedication to the program is a testament to their desire to enhance their children’s educational experience. Mr. Van Graan noted that the parents were eager to attend the sessions, regardless of rain, wind, or taxi strikes. The success of the HSPP at Kleinberg Primary School is also due in part to the commitment of the educators who managed the program, as well as the support team that ensured the location was set up and assisted with daily logistical tasks.

Creating a Brighter Future for the Younger Generation

By bridging the gap between home and school, Kleinberg Primary School’s Home School Partnership Programme has not only fostered a supportive environment for the students but has also empowered parents to be active participants in their children’s education. This innovative initiative is paving the way for future contributions to the educational landscape and creating a brighter future for the younger generation.
