I don’t have a good life but my daughter is hard working so I can’t give her everything but I wish I can give her a wonderful future. My number is 0630121113
morning.
I am struggling to download the application forms to apply for my daughter. my daughter’s name is Amu. She is excellent and it for that reason that I desire an excellent school for her. A school teacher was actually the one who recommended the school for her. She displays exceptional leadership qualities, performs great academically & is excellent in sport. This would be an awesome opportunity to be afforded for my daughter as I cannot afford it as a single mom
May you please provide me with a application form for my daughter who is jn grade 7
My name is Dikeledi Dorah Letsoalo who is having a brilliant daughter who wishes to study at your institution because he needs challenges academically. She is a best performer , top achiever in grades and class a deputy head girl at her school. She is highly driven and motivated and have a dream to be by your institution to do more as she is very ambitious wants to make a name for herself despite challenges. I am divorced and sometimes feels that I am failing her and thinks she deserves better and cant afford financially, I strongly believe your institution can save her the miseries.
