Goal 

The main aim of the Pre-Primary is to develop and mould boys into individuals who are able to fill their place in society.  We endeavour to prepare boys for formal demands of Grade 1 and to start the process of making true Grey gentlemen out of them – boys who are of good character, proud and have outstanding manners.

Tutoring and extra-mural activities:

A well-planned programme is followed daily.  At present there are three Afrikaans Gr R classes and one English class.  Classes vary from 33 – 35 pupils.  We are fortunate to have an in-service-trained assistant for each class.  On our staff we also have the services of a secretary, grounds assistant and an assistant who is responsible for the boys who attend After Care.

Numeracy, Literacy and Life Skills circles form part of a daily programme and consist of theme discussion, creative activities, music and movement.  We also teach good eating and toilet habits.  Ample time for inside and outside play is allowed.  During the summer months the boys are taken to the swimming pool, which creates a great feeling of excitement.  Learners are stimulated with numerous educational toys and apparatus. During May School Skills tests are done thereafter the results are discussed with parents.  The necessary therapy is then recommended where needed.  The school is fortunate to have the services of an occupational therapist as well as a school psychologist.

Extra mural activities presented at the school are as follows:  Stimulus Maxima (Computers), Music, The Penguin English Club, Rugby, the Cricket Academy and Mini-Tennis.

Fund Raising projects:

The Pre- Primary School, being a private institution, has to generate its own funds.  Two big Fund Raising projects are launched during the first six months of the year.  The Mokhukhu evening for fathers and sons as well as a Fun Walk and Bike Buddies ensure that families spend quality time together.  Solid friendships are formed here.

During the third term it is pay back time when the school presents the annual Grandparents’ Day.  The Diploma Ceremony is held in October.  After the boys are capped, they are no longer Grade R boys, but Grey Gentlemen.  A Christmas party is held in November to celebrate the end of the year.

Special days and Outings:

The fancy dress days is a way to show the boys how fortunate they are and help them do their part in giving back to the less fortunate.  During these days the boys dress up according to a theme for example Cowboys or Sport heroes, etc.  They bring along tins of canned food, pet food, or old blankets and clothes according to the theme.   This is distributed to various needy charity organizations.

We endeavor to organize two educational outings per term for example visiting the zoo, air force, fire brigade or police station.
Every second Friday we have Tuck Day when the boys receive treats from the legendary Tuck Shop.
