Galaxy Hall

Running a school in Soweto involves navigating resource constraints that most urban institutions in other provinces don't face. Load shedding disrupts classroom time and makes computer labs unpredictable. Water outages affect sanitation and meal preparation. Teachers manage overcrowded classrooms without always having textbooks for every learner, and infrastructure maintenance happens in stops and starts. Galaxy Hall works within these realities—timetables get adjusted around power cuts, learning materials are shared and stretched, and staff adapt lessons to what's actually available on the day. The logistical problem-solving that goes into keeping a school functioning in this context is invisible to families, but it shapes every aspect of what teaching and learning actually look like.
