What a day at Setlabotjha Primary School.

On Friday 23 October, finalists in Grades 4 to 7 from across Sedibeng West District stood on stage and spelled for the 2026 TA Regional Spelling Bee Grand Final. They did it in front of their teachers and classmates.

Every finalist won their school round first. That took weeks of reading and practice, and it showed.

Thank you to the teachers who coached them, the parents who cheered them on, our judges and volunteers, and everyone who backed the day.

This is what The Year of Breakthrough looks like: learners reading, practising and finding their voices.

Matric 2026, today is the day.

Your final exams start today, and we are so proud of you. You have shown up, kept reading and kept going, even when it was not easy. Now it is time to trust the work you have put in.

A few words from all of us at Tshiamiso Astronauts:

Read each question twice. Breathe. Take one paper at a time. Rest well between papers.

To every Grade 12 learner writing this year: we are cheering for you. To the parents, teachers and tutors who walked this road with you: thank you.

On Saturday our hall was full of popcorn, balloons and big smiles.

The TA Fundraising Movie Day brought our young readers together for an afternoon of joy and community, and every child left with a full tummy and a happy heart.

A huge thank you to Divine Bakers for sponsoring the children's sandwiches. Local businesses like yours show our children that their community believes in them. We are so grateful.

Thank you to our volunteers, parents and everyone who bought a ticket or donated. You are helping us build a literate, empowered and confident Evaton West.

On 29 May, 40 learners sat in a computer room at Khunoana Primary School and waited for their turn to spell. It was the first qualifier of the 2026 TA Regional Spelling Bee.

Since then, nine schools across Sedibeng West (D8) have held qualifiers. More than 320 learners spelled. 107 of them earned a place at the Grand Final.

Our new blog post follows the whole journey: the training workshop, the "Spelling Bee in a Box", the nine qualifiers and what our moderators saw in the rooms.

Dumela. Sawubona. Molo. Thobela. Lotjhani. Avuxeni. Ndaa. Hallo. Hello.

In our community, we greet each other in many languages, and every one of them carries a history, a culture and a story worth telling.

At Tshiamiso Astronauts, we believe a child's home language is a strength, not a barrier. When our children read, write and share stories in their own languages, our heritage grows stronger.

This Heritage Day, we celebrate the beautiful mix of cultures that makes our community who we are. Different languages. One community. One story.

Which language do you greet your family in? Tell us in the comments.

Happy Heritage Day from the TA family.
