Mr Stodel has taught me a lot and he is the best teacher in the school.\u201d  <strong>Ruby Fisher<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI have been here for 9 years.  I have had wonderful experiences with the teachers and staff.  The three teachers I loved the most were teacher Zoliswa, teacher Mamoeti and Mr Stodel.  A special thanks to sis Julia, sis Anna and Neo.\u201d <strong> Lua Bopape.<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI think Gaia\u2019s children are very open-minded.  Gaia should teach children to be street-wize.  Peace-out from a wize-worded guy.\u201d   <strong>Noah Collier<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cMy experience has been loving but dramatic.  My teacher has shown me how to love , be kind and share.  I will never forget Mr Stodel and he will always be in my heart.\u201d  <strong>Hahobejwalo Thipa<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cWhen I first arrived here I was so nervous.  When I saw the children smiling, laughing, playing and having fun then I knew I would be happy here.  I let go of my mom\u2019s hand and since then I have been happy coming to this school.\u201d  <strong>Uviwe Madingozi<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m happy it\u2019s not as strict here as a state school.  The rules can be stupid sometimes.  I like most of the teachers.\u201d  <strong>Ahmad Hendricks<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cGaia has been a life\u2019s experience with both good and bad aspects.  Most affable were the camps.\u201d  <strong>Rowan Winter<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cThese have been long and loving years and I will miss Gaia.  We gonna leave and make new friends but it won\u2019t be the same.\u201d <strong> Lonwabo Tolbadi<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI loved kindergarden , my teacher, the food and friends.  I love my teacher because he is the best, kind and loving teacher in the whole world.  I love my whole class and we have become so close over the years.\u201d  <strong>Jauhara Nabee-Bukkus<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cGaia has been like a new home to me and I will never forget how the teachers and children treated me.  They always used kind words and taught me in a way everyone can understand.  It has changed my life for the good.\u201d   <strong>Rania Gamieldien.<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cIt has been a great journey and I will miss the school.  I like that we don\u2019t get exams and that the teachers are kind and loving.\u201d  <strong>Akhona Mfeketho<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cThe smiles and hugs and friends and my teacher made Gaia like a new home to me.  The kids touched my heart.  Gaia is like a world to me.\u201d <strong> Simphiwe Peter<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cFor good or for worse, it\u2019s been a whacky road with fun friends.  The best teacher you can possibly get.\u201d  <strong>Nicholos Solomon<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cGaia was fun.  Especially when we got a ping-pong table.  Going on camps and bonding with my classmates was great fun.\u201d  <strong>Oliver Pascoe<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cBefore Gaia I was quiet, grumpy and only spoke to my parents.  Teacher Zoliswa and Mamoeti helped me come out of my shell and from there I made many friends whom I shall dearly miss.\u201d <strong> Philade Luthango<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cMy amazing teacher helped me understand what we were doing and that was fun.  The children in this school help each other, we are like a big family.  My favourite fair is the Spring Fair where people dress up weirdly and don\u2019t care and there is amazing but expensive food.\u201d  <strong>Suchitra Roberts<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s been tough but my friends have guided me.  It\u2019s been a challenge and a blessing and the teaching has been unbelievable in helping me understand things.  Mr Stodel is an amazing helper.  It\u2019s sad my dad didn\u2019t see me finish my Gaia journey.\u201d  <strong> Saskia Tucker<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI was able to conquer my challenges.  Gaia has taught me to be who I am.  To love, to share and to forgive.  Even unfair or rude teachers and children.  My teacher inspired me in many things.  Gaia will always be in my heart.\u201d  <strong>Ongezwa Mbontsi<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cWhat is so unique is how we learnt that everyone can be accepted despite how different we all are.  I will never forget my lovely experience at Gaia.\u201d   <strong>Thaakir du Toit.<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cThis journey has kept me in tune with the meaning of life and taught me that I have many more lessons in patience, love, understanding and the art of working in a small community of colleagues still to learn!
