So, what is it that makes this school so successful?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have been serious about developing a relational culture among teachers, children and general workers. Creating this kind of environment makes teaching and learning that much more enjoyable. Children excitedly attend school because of the relationships that have been formed with their peers and teachers. This extends to their guardians with who we have also built good relationships.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hellen Ngulube is the headteacher at Ngombe Legacy Academy and the mastermind behind the development of this school\u2019s culture. Being one of only two educated people from the rural villages she was raised in, a passion for children and teaching has been a significant part of her for decades. Her long experience being an educator has taught her what children need most and how to get the best out of them.\u00a0<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1832 alignright lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/familylegacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_6287-1024x856.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"315\" height=\"263\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/familylegacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_6287-1024x856.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/familylegacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_6287-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/familylegacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_6287-768x642.jpg 768w, https:\/\/familylegacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_6287.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 315px) 100vw, 315px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 315px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 315\/263;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOne of the most important things for me is to teach children how to read well. If they can do this, they can learn almost anything. For that reason, we have also developed a reading culture to promote greater levels of literacy. We are very intentional about making sure that each child is able to read and that every teacher (including myself) is involved in the process.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leading by example, Hellen is often found in classrooms doing the actual teaching herself. She is devoted to being a part of the lives of her teachers and students, fully believing that sincere relationships are the foundation upon which real success takes place. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ngombe\u2019s Legacy Academy School Culture Produces Success Engaged students, passionate teachers and high academic performances.
