Kwena Molapo High School underwent renovations during the recent school holidays to create an environment conducive for an e-learning centre. Three classrooms were overhauled and saw the installation of interactive smartboards and laptops. A laptop was put in place to cater to the needs of Grade 8-12 learners in the field of computer literacy.
The interactive smartboard technology incorporates software specified for specific grades curriculum subjects and comes with a large, touch-enabled surface that allows teachers and students to write in digital ink, erase, move objects and control applications with a finger or pen. The software also helps teachers create, deliver and manage high-impact interactive lesson activities.
"Trudon is proudly sponsoring Kwena Molapo High School with a digital learning centre that will see many young students lives impacted positively through this technological opportunity," said Seopa. "Technology is playing an increasingly important role in society and it is of paramount importance that these young learners are able to become technologically proficient, providing them with the tools required in a competitive marketplace."
Furthermore, as another part of its corporate social investment (CSI) programmes, facilitated by ADS Consultants, Trudon also adopted fifteen early child development, primary and secondary school leaders and their teams in Diepsloot and the surrounding areas with the aim of developing the leadership skills of school management teams. The leadership team from Kwena Molapo High School is currently enrolled in this programme with the aim of ensuring that the skills they acquire are successfully transferred to the classroom for the ultimate benefit of the students attending the school.
Other Trudon CSI programmes range from adopting schools in disadvantaged communities that have a record of a low matric pass rate - specifically in the all-important subjects of Maths and Science, assisting disadvantaged Grade 8 learners with proven academic abilities to attend Johannesburg's best high schools to those at tertiary level. This includes granting bursaries to full time students from previously disadvantaged backgrounds studying towards an undergraduate degree that is in line with Trudon's business.
