A DEDICATED principal realised a dream yesterday when a R1-million renovation project at his school was unveiled. Papenkuil Primary School head Neil Deerling said the school had undergone a complete metamorphosis in the last three years.
“I can’t believe how this school looks now,” he said.
Deerling said the school’s transformation came at a great time for both pupils and staff.

The school makeover was done by the Oceana Group fishing company through its recently established Oceana Foundation.
