Through Their Eyes: PhotoXP at Bavumile Primary School

At Bavumile Primary School in Matatiele, the school day moves through its familiar rhythms: learners gathering at assembly, lessons unfolding in classrooms and moments of play spilling out into the spaces beyond them. On 14 August 2026, these everyday scenes became the focus of PhotoXP, as learners were invited to pick up cameras and document the world they know best.

Under the theme “My School,” the young participants turned their attention towards the people, places and moments that shape life at Bavumile. What emerged was more than a collection of photographs. It was a record of a school seen through the eyes of the children who inhabit it each day.
