Mooi, Panorama! Our primary school tours continue.

Published on

As part of our tours of primary schools around Cape Town, we made a stop at the school Ryan’s kids call home. Panorama Primary boasts with some of the best academics and sport in the city. We had a blast.

A holistic approach to education

Mr Anton Mostert is the principal of Panorama Primary and says the school focuses on a holistic approach to schooling with a good balance between education and sport.

Robotics with a difference

Team Checkmate, a dedicated and passionate FIRST LEGO League (FLL) robotics team comprised of six children aged 10 to 12 from Cape Town, South Africa. Some learners at Panorama Primary are part of the team and we spoke to Jair February of them who recently designed a chess board with a difference.

Checkmate demonstrate not only their technical proficiency but also their commitment to teamwork, innovation, and problem-solving. As the proud representatives of Cape Town and South Africa, their journey to the FLL international finals is a source of great pride. But it does come at a cost with travel expenses, registration fees, accommodation, and equipment costs. They have set up a BackaBuddy page called BK Robotics 2 Australia.
