Our school is situated in the suburb of **Sunningdale** which is about 20km from **Cape Town, South Africa**. Our school year runs from January to December, so we are very near to our year end now. Our school closes on 6 December for the Christmas holidays. It will open again on 16 January next year. We have 4 terms and 4 school holidays in a year. December is the longest holiday because it is summer here in South Africa.

If you'd like to know more about our school and where we live, take a look at this **project** we took part in last year.



Our country is made up different and diverse groups of people, each with their own culture and language. We have **ELEVEN** official languages!

Here is the word for **HELLO** in each language, with the name of the language in brackets: Molo (isiXhosa) Hallo (Afrikaans) Thobela (Sepedi) Dumela(Setswana) Lumela (Sesotho) Abusheni (Xitsonga) Sanibona (siSwati) Avuwani(Tshivenda) Salibonani (isiNdebele) Hello (English) || xxxxx || This is the time in Cape Town right now!
