Klippies understands the assignment
Amuné van Rooyen, a grade 4 learner, received the champion award on Book 11.
The sharp young mind fought a good battle there.
The win made her school and her parents proud.
'When I heard my child's name, I was in tears and screaming with joy. I couldn't be more proud. She worked really hard,' said Nataska van Rooyen, the mother of Amuné.
The mother explained with excitement, highlighting her daughter's love for the maths subject.
A grade 1 learner, La-Rochelle Niemand, also made a name for herself and the school.
The courageous young mind showcased her skills and determination and brought gold on Book 7.
'We are very proud of La-Rochelle. She loves her maths and has been doing A+ since she was three years old. This is her second year getting gold. Maths is something she loves, and that is never a bad thing. For me, it is nice to see how proud she is of herself because I know how hard she works,' said La-Rochelle Niemand, the mother of La-Rochelle.
The parents of the two little Klippies expressed their kids' achievements with major excitement.
The duo looks forward to what the future has in store for their young ones.
They believe that what is major is yet to come, and they are wishing them well.
The duo is proof that young minds are being made now. They made a name for the school as they were trusted to.
The school believes that they have more forces to reckon with, from education to sports. Laerskool Klipfontein congratulated the two learners, praising them for their unwavering hard work.

Crematorium steps in to cremate homeless man in eMalahleni
The local crematorium in eMalaheni cremated a homeless man at no cost after reading about a woman's plea to give him a decent funeral. Unieta Swanepoel's plea on social media had a far-reaching effect, as the public also contributed money to help with the cremation costs, and now they want to know what happened to the money. Swanepoel said the cremation was estimated to cost R10 000 and she paid R1 000 towards it. She said the funeral home where Breedt's body was held wanted R4 500 to release the body, and they took the R1 000 she paid in and R1 000 another woman paid directly to the funeral home. 'Another R500 was paid into my account and I used it to pay for diesel and airtime to organise everything,' she told WITBANK NEWS. Swanepoel said she was now distancing herself from the funeral arrangements and, said a ceremony would be held for Breedt on Monday at a church in Stevenson Street. 'I just want to thank everyone who did help, and those who did not and withdrew over a post about me, that was me in the past I was really looking for help with Johannes,' she said. Breedt died on June 17. According to his death certificate he died of natural causes.

Riviera on Vaal parkrun set to reopen after sewage woes
VEREENIGING – After nearly two months of closure due to raw sewage flooding parts of its route, the Riviera on Vaal parkrun is finally making a comeback. Earlier this week, organisers announced on Facebook: 'Dear parkrunners, we are SUPER excited to announce that the Riviera on Vaal parkrun will be open on Saturday, 28 June!! See you at 08:00, for a long overdue parkrun reunion!!' The weekly Saturday event, a favourite among local runners and walkers, was first suspended in May when sewage spills made sections of the trail unsafe. Despite some improvement noted in June, organisers had opted to keep the event on hold to ensure participants' safety, with raw sewage still visible along parts of the footpath as recently as last week. In a statement posted earlier this month, the team said: 'Even though the situation of the sewage water on our route is looking much better, it is still not safe to open the parkrun. We really hope to return with better news next week.' Their latest update signals that conditions have finally improved enough for a safe return. Parkrunners are urged to check the event's Facebook page for any last-minute updates and to arrive early for the 08:00 start. The Riviera on Vaal parkrun is held weekly at the Riviera on Vaal Hotel grounds and typically attracts a lively crowd eager for fitness, fresh air and community spirit.
