An emotional farewell

Larbert high singing their national anthem

After and amazing week of fun, laughter, new friends and tears of joy today marked the sad departure of our Scottish friends of Larbert High School. They have without a doubt made their mark on Woodlands and in Heideveld. All 16 students left their hand print on our Library wall and after an emotional assembly with songs dancing speeches and displays they were on their way!

The best way for to express this unbelievable trip is to share some of the stories of the students starting with 2 of our students.


'I enjoyed Larbert High very much and got to know them better, and as Woodlands started knowing them they soon became part of Woodlands Primary School family and they will also now and forever more. The reason why I enjoyed them coming here is that they were just so wild and mad, crazy like us and they played soccer, skipped and even danced with us. what I remember the most about them and my favorite memory is that they didn't care who were were, what colour we were and they loved us for just the way we are. I want to say thank you very, very, very much, you guys were great Woodlands will always love you!'

'I enjoyed hacing Larbert High at our school, it brought warmth to the learners and educators of Woodlands Primary. My favourite memory of them was when they first arrived and the excitement we all had. I remember that they let us read and taught us the waka waka dance. Thank you for choosing our school love Adiela.'
