[CLEAR VISION IS THE FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESFUL LEARNING]

Big Thanks to Jeremy Meiring Optometrist!

We would like to extend a huge thank you to Jeremy Meiring for visiting Lebone College recently to conduct eye screenings for our young students.

We truly appreciate you taking the time to support our students’ health and well-being!

Why early screening matters:
Clear vision is the foundation for successful learning. Identifying vision issues early is vital because:

Academic Success: Most of what a child learns is visual. Undetected issues can lead to struggles with reading and concentration.

Early Intervention: Many eye conditions are much easier to treat or correct when caught at a young age while the eyes are still developing.

Confidence: Ensuring children see the world clearly helps them feel more confident in the classroom and on the sports field.

Thank you, Jeremy, for helping our students see their bright futures a little more clearly! 🎓✨
