Comment:Good Day

My Name is Kgalalelo Matshediso
My Little Sister has not applied anywhere because our parents are only focused on their divorce issues,my little sister is a very bright,dedicated,and focused young girl.She has been asking me if she’s not going to get the opportunity to do her grade 8 next year because all the applications are now closed,I told her that something will come up.I acknowledge the fact that it’s already too late but I was just trying my luck.

Hi my name Zama P Makhombothi I’m doing grade 11 at Denver secondary school I’m doing Maths and Science…it is my dream to come and attend Oprah Winfrey leadership academy for girls,I don’t know if it’s possible for me to attend there next year 2018 but then if it is possible please guys help me because I really want to change the situation at home and in my community I want to lead by an example…. It’s not like I hate my school it’s just that it’s a government school and we don’t have materials or equipment to do experiments so it’s very hard for us Science students to understand some parts of chemistry and that leads us to get low marks and this marks affects our reports we end up failing which is bad so please I really need with all my heart please.

Greetings
I’m in grade 8 at the moment at Ponelopele Oracle Seconday.I really wish I could study by your school ,Oprah Winfrey leadership academy.
I enjoy Natural Science class and would really like to be a gastric bypass surgeon because I believe that people who are extremely obese should get a second chance in life and to promote that, a gastric bypass surgeon and a good medical team should intervene
if you give me this chance,i promise i will do my best

Your acceptance would really mean a lot to me

Greetings

Please help my daughter to study at your academy next 2018. I know its very late and the applications are closed already. My daughter is suffering the consequences of her unemployed mother who cannot pay her fees. As in this moment she does not have a school to go to next year. She is in grade 7 and will be doing grade 8 next year.The system of admitting children in my town Newcastle has made things difficult to get my child admission next year. You have to pay large amount of deposit this year. Now I don’t know what my baby is going to do next. I heard about your academy very late. All I am asking is your favour to take her please. She is a good student. My contact number 0825037245
