The girls entering the room for week 5 of PGC: washing hands is the first thing they do.
The teachers open every PGC meeting in prayer and have the girls stand for this.
Lerato, a member of the PGC Student Council, is announcing the March birthdays and giving each girl a pencil.
Jane and Blantina were caught giggling over a diagram of what a woman's body looks like from the outside.
During Maam Ditsela's lesson, she had all the girls laughing at her blunt approach to the lesson!
Maam Ditsela has a great way of getting the girls to all participate each week and here you can see all the girls wanting to answer by snapping their fingers.
I love that she has captured all the girls attention on what could have been a very awkward topic!
Maam Tema is giving some quick earring instructions to the other PGC leaders before teaching the girls the week's craft.
