Today, our Grade 3–7 learners had the privilege of meeting 𝗚𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶, a young man from Kimberley who travels far and wide on his bicycle, visiting schools and raising awareness about substance abuse and unemployment.

Through his inspiring journey, Gadaffi shares a powerful message about the importance of education, making positive life choices, putting God first, and working towards a brighter future.

On behalf of Ryva Academy of Learning, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Gadaffi for taking the time to speak to our learners and for sharing his story, wisdom, and encouragement. Thank you for the positive impact you are making in the lives of young people and for inspiring our learners to believe in themselves and their potential. 🌟

🌧️💚 Turning Rainy Days into Beautiful Memories at Ryva Academy 💚🌧️

After all the wonderful rain, our school grounds became the perfect place for creativity, teamwork, and appreciation for nature. 🌱✨

A special thank you to our hardworking gardener, Lucky, who continuously helps keep Ryva Academy looking beautiful and welcoming. His care and dedication truly make a difference every single day. 🌿😊

Inspired by the beauty around them, some of our learners used the wet ground and nature to create lovely heart shapes — a reminder that even after the rain, beauty and joy can grow. 🤎🍃

At Ryva Academy, we believe that nature teaches kindness, creativity, gratitude, and love in the most special ways. 🌼
