About Our Institution
The Silver Protea form the centrepiece of our school badge.
The bold upward pointing arrow in the background symbolises positive progress.
The two stylised silver leaves are representative of the silver leafed Protea, unique to this area, which abundantly grew in the vicinity of the school at one time.
These leaves shimmered in the sunlight, thus giving the name to the area, and the school.

Making a difference

This core value of "Making a Difference" inspires our learners to not just be passive recipients of knowledge but active contributors to society.

Appreciation

Pause, reflect, and express gratitude for the resources, relationships, and opportunities that come our way.

Respect

Valuing the diversity of opinions, cultures, and backgrounds that make up our vibrant community. Engage in healthy, constructive dialogues, while maintaining a sense of dignity and mutual regard.

Honesty

A commitment to authenticity, transparency, and ethical integrity. It cultivates an environment of trust and mutual respect, both essential ingredients for any community to thrive

Accountability

We encourage them to understand the consequences of their decisions, not as punitive measures, but as instructive moments that provide opportunities for growth and self-improvement.

Discipline

By embedding discipline into our educational ethos, we prepare our learners to face challenges both inside and outside the classroom with integrity and resilience. Discipline forms the basis for achieving both academic and personal goals, establishing a balanced and fulfilling life.

Committment

Success is not merely a momentary achievement but the result of ongoing effort and resilience. Whether it's academic projects, athletic pursuits, or social responsibilities, we encourage our learners to approach each task with a resolve to finish it to the best of their ability.

Tolerance

The recognition that each individual brings a unique set of experiences, talents, and perspectives to the table. Our learners are encouraged to step outside their comfort zones and engage with people who are different from them

Choosing a school is a daunting process…

We are committed to providing a high-quality education that prepares our learners for success in a rapidly changing world. Our academic program is based on the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS), which provides a comprehensive framework that guides our teaching and learning.

Experienced Educators

Every challenge we face can be met with combined efforts, and our strength truly lies in our diversity. Together, we are building a future where every learner is supported and empowered, crafting a masterpiece of learning and growth.

Comprehensive Curriculum Coverage

Subjects include languages (English and Afrikaans First Additional Languages), Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Technology, Life Orientation, Arts and Culture, and Economic and Management Sciences (EMS) at appropriate grade levels.
