CHEETA Community Help Environmental Education Through Animals: Cheetah Challenge at Boikanyo Primary School in Ga-Rankuwa

This year the Tri-Rangers introduced our team to an amazing little primary school in zone 5 Ga-Rankuwa. Boikanyo Primary School has outstanding staff members, and from last term we were working closely with the Grade 7A, 7B and 7C. This term we are also working with the Grade 6 classes, assisting with Natural sciences revision.

Jedi visited the grade 7 learners, and he was a big hit. He also visit Carter Primary in Alexandria recently.

The Cheetah Challenge is a fun way of assisting learners to start planning wisely for their futures. After exams have been completed, we will be keeping the learners busy while implementing our Cheetah Challenge at Boikanyo.

To be able to run our cheetah Challenge programme successfully, we rely on sponsorships. We would like to thank the following companies for assisting us this year so far: Vomak, SAGE, and Evonik

Our vision is to change the perceptions of young people about their futures – for them to see possibilities and feel a sense of hope and purpose. We will do this by challenging each young person to change their world, one new thought at a time.

We provide critical thinking skills and opportunities to children and young adults - focused on various areas of their lives, so that they change their mindsets and perceptions about:

· Their Futures

· Opportunities for Economic Activity

· Their Health and Wellness

· Making a difference in the lives of Others

· Making a difference to their Environment and ultimately the Planet

· Improving Relationships and choosing appropriate Role Models

· Choosing behaviour that results in Positive Outcomes in their lives

· Consciously working on their Strengths and constantly seeking out new Skills
