Everyone a Changemaker: The Story of Pinelands North

Pinelands North Primary School (PNPS) in Cape Town, South Africa transformed from an all white, homogeneous school to one of South Africa's leading institutions in fostering inclusiveness across society. From there, the school continued their journey of changemaking beyond inclusivity, to unlock the potential of every student, teacher and community changemaker.

As a retired primary school teacher from SA and Pinelands all I can say is "show the world how it's done" wonderful work, truly heart warming.

This is the kind of change the world needs. Cannot be more proud of the work Ann and the team are doing! #InclusionIsLove What an AMAZING group of people to leave footprints in my daughter's life. 👏

We are so proud to be associated with the school! The moment you enter the school you notice, and feel the difference... and it is absolutely amazing! I certainly see the positive impact in my daughter's life. So proud! Well done Ann Morton and team!

The kids in the video show this approach works and very successful. They speak and show empathy and emotional intelligence beyond their years.

If only all schools were like this one, just think of what South Africa could be like in the future
