Members of staff and pupils of the Theocentric Christian College at Masia recently bade farewell to two of their pupils, Orifha Mudau and Shaun Baloyi.

The two Grade 10 pupils are on their way to Canada. They were chosen by the staff to attend a full year of studies at Smithville District Christian High School in Smithville, Ontario, with all expenses paid. This is the next step in a partnership that was formed between these two schools in 2004.

During the past eight years, Canadian teachers have come to Theocentric to work with the staff annually and a team of high school pupils from Canada come very two years. This is the first time that learners from Theocentric will make the trip to Canada.

Words of encouragement were uttered by the principal of Theocentric, Mr Brown Kaira, teacher- and parent representatives and Pastor Sipho of the Apostolic Faith Mission at Bungeni.
