Loading player...
On a recent episode of the Kiddies Hotline, Stacey and J Sbu invited young listeners to share their favourite school subjects and the secrets behind their academic success. The segment was filled with charming and insightful responses from children eager to reveal what helps them excel in the classroom.

One caller shared that Afrikaans is her top subject, attributing her success to her mother’s fluency and frequent use of the language at home. Another enthusiastic participant, Amelia, a 12-year-old in grade six, impressed the hosts with her all-round excellence in English, Afrikaans, arts and music. When asked for her secret, Amelia simply credited listening in class, trying her best, and asking teachers for help when needed.

Other children chimed in with their own strategies. Sky Niro said math was his favourite, and he achieves high marks by studying diligently and paying attention in class. Sophia named art as her top subject, while P, also 12, excelled in Natural Science and Technology as well as Geography, emphasising the importance of revising before exams.

The Kiddies Hotline showcased that, for many children, attentive listening, active participation, and a little help from family are the keys to academic achievement.
