Welcome to another episode from The Ridge school, today we are going to be talking to Mr. Songezo Malangeni and Mrs Holly Ferrar. Mr Songezo Malangeni is our new Deputy Headmaster and heads up Social Justice and of course Mrs Holly Ferrar, who is the head of the JP. Today they are going to be talking to us about a new initiative called “Happy Chappie” and this is for the junior prep, are you a Happy Chappie?
We are very excited to be launching this initiative called “The Happy Chappie” initiative. So, this t-shirt was found in the last property section by one of our parents, and we thought we'd put it to good use. So “Happy Chappie” is basically aimed at giving children the opportunity to start thinking about justice, dignity, and community building at an age-appropriate level.
We decided to create it around happiness, and happiness is, usually centered around, you, which is important, we've also decided to add on, go beyond and encourage children to start thinking about what they are considering the happiness of those around them and so we are going to be focusing on “The Happy Chappie” project, with our Grade three boys in the junior prep.
Every week on the same day we're going to pick out a name and the boy is going to get to take the Happy Chappie t-shirt home, what he has to do is reflect on his own happiness for that week and how he can inflict happiness on the community around him and then when he comes back to school the next week and explain
how he has experience happiness in his community.
So, we are really excited to see what happiness looks like to our Grade three boys. Thank you so much, Mr. Malangeni for the wonderful idea and we look forward to growing the Happy Chappie at The Ridge. Thank you.
Thank you very much for the indeed, Mr Malangeni. I'll call on to you, Happy Chappie, to please subscribe. The Ridge School where boys are known and grown.
