Potential We assist each child in realising their academic potential and foster the development of those interests and skills which contribute to a fuller enjoyment of life. Success We encourage our children to give of their best, whether it be in academics, an appreciation of music, honour on the sports field, artistic endeavour, or coping with the trials and tribulations of growing up. Caring Our dedicated, academic staff consists of talented, caring teachers who embolden their students and are role models of integrity, kindness and fairness. The Rhenish Primary School’s Governing Body consists of eight elected members and the Headmaster, all of whom must be South African citizens. There are five parent representatives elected by the parents, two educators elected by the teaching staff and one non-educator elected by the non-teaching staff. Our aim is to help each child reach their full potential within a caring and supportive environment. Allowing boys and girls to grow and mature together in a co-educational setting helps them to develop well-rounded social skills. It teaches courtesy, good manners and sound values with healthy and respectful attitudes towards one another. They learn from their peers and adults around them but especially from those they admire. We are proud to have inspiring and motivating educators who work to empower the young girls and boys to assume an active and confident role in society. We strive to develop our children’s confidence and self-esteem so that they are fully equipped to cope with the pressures and challenges of life. Rhenish Primary School provides a diverse and balanced education. In addition to curricular responsibilities, our educators provide an extensive choice of extra-curricular activities to balance a child’s educational experience.
