On Saturday, 16 March 2024, Somerset West District hosted a training session at Firgrove congregation to introduce the new teachers to the new Sunday School Curriculum.
The day commenced with an opening prayer and spiritual portion by Priest Quinton Jooste, where he welcomed and thanked the new teachers for their willingness to assist in Sunday School.
A detailed presentation was delivered by the District Coordinator, explaining the origin and structure of the new Sunday School Curriculum. This was followed by a session on how to prepare and present a lesson. For this purpose, one of the teachers used the lesson ‘The Last Supper’, giving an insightful demonstration on how to incorporate all the components of the new Curriculum into the lesson delivery. Practical tips on how to make visual aids and fun activities to enhance the lesson were also shared.
This created the ideal platform for teachers to raise concerns and share fresh ideas. The energy and excitement of the new teachers prevailed throughout the day. The highlight of the day was when the teachers received the long-awaited new teachers' manuals. Refreshments were served and everybody left ready to make Sunday School GREAT and FUN!
