WBPHS shines at awards evening

JUSTISIA SHIPENA
The average staff member at Walvis Bay Private High School (WBPHS) works between 12 to 15 hours a day.

Apart from the formal school day, they continue with extramural activities, which includes academic support, and they can continue until as late as 18:00.

At the 2018 Erongo Regional Awards evening, presented by the regional educational directorate and held on 26 June, WBPHS received the award for the top performing Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate Higher Level (NSSCH) school in the region.

The award was handed to Mrs E Eigelaar by Mrs Savva, one of the main sponsors of the event. Circuit inspector Monica Gawises congratulated the senior teachers for their hard work and excellent achievements.

The keynote speaker, Charles Kabajani, who is the deputy permanent secretary of education, said: “When we celebrate teachers, we recognise them as the engine of education, and for their commitment and hard work they have invested in the Namibian child.”
