MY PERSONAL JORNEY

MY FINAL SCHOOL YEAR

My final school year at Phumzile FET school which is located in the Mpumalanga province. Phumzile is in a rural area called Vlaklaagte 1 in the Thembisile Hani local municipality. Vlaklaagte 1 has nine schools where four of them are primary schools, two being senior secondary schools and two being FETs. Vlaklaagte is a developed community because it has facilities which are very important like clinics, schools and their infrastructure as well. Vlaklaagte 1 is a rural settlement where there are all three life classes being the low-class, the middle class and the high-class. The sad part of it is that people who are regarded as the low-class are left aside and the members of this community do not help each other in fact they criticize each other.

Phumzile Fet is the best school in terms of results in the Tweefontein East Circuit where there are six FET schools. Phumzile has 17 teachers who all can teach and also offer different subjects. The head master of Phumzile FET is Mr D.B Kabini whom we as pupils loved because he always made us priority and he also sacrificed a lot for us. Mr Kabini is one the best accounting teachers and he was also known for producing good results. Phumzile offered three streams namely the sciences,commercials and the generals stream. I was doing the general stream which is English, isiNdebele, Mathematics, Life Orientation, Geography, Agricultural sciences and Tourism. My favorite subjects where Tourism and Agricultural sciences.

2013 Phumzile was visited by the MEC of Education in Mpumalanga. Phumzile being one of the best school received sponsors who donated computers for the pupils to use. The schools uses more technology during Agricultural sciences because we did a lot of researches and our Agricultural sciences teacher used a lot of technology so that made it more easier for us to use the school computer lab for our researches.
