Julius' Success Julius Mogashoa was a young man with an intellectual disability. He lacked self-confidence and was angry at the world. At Sparrow, he found a home. He settled in well and began working hard. We encouraged him to attend counseling sessions at RAU University. It was during those sessions where he was able to open up about the difficulties he was having at home. From then on Julius progressed in leaps and bounds. We soon discovered that he had a talent for beading. On graduating, we offered him an opportunity to become part of our graduate programme at Sparrow including a learner support unit. Four months later, his commitment to his work caught the attention of a sound company in Johannesburg. They offered him a full time job. Reports on him sung his praise and we are proud to learn that he has just been promoted. Well Done Julius, you are an example to us all.

Gardens Wild and Wonderful Lyn Eagar continues to do wonders in the gardens at Sparrow. With the opening of the new Skills workshops her workload has dramatically increased. However, thanks to the contributions from AECI, United Mushroom, Johannesburg City Parks and Johannesburg Water, Lyn has started to turn our gardens wild into something wonderful.
Sparrow Schools has always prided itself on adjusting its focus to meet the ever-changing needs of its learners. With 10 years of democracy under our belt, the need for bridging tuition has diminished. This fact has promoted Sparrow Schools to readdress its focus areas. As of 2005, Sparrow Schools will dedicate itself entirely too educating disadvantaged, remedial and low functioning learners. This means that our High School academic and Foundation School bridging programmes will fall away. These programmes will be replaced with more special needs classes, and programmes focusing on skills training and including a learner support unit.
