It is a privilege to welcome you to Kenridge Primary School. Whether you are joining our community for the first time or have been part of it for many years, you are warmly welcomed into a school where children are valued, supported and encouraged to grow.

Kenridge Primary is built on strong relationships, shared purpose and a deep sense of belonging. Our values of Kindness, Perseverance and Service guide how we teach, learn and care for one another. These values are visible in our classrooms, on the sports fields and in the way our learners engage with the world around them.

Our theme, Step Up and Stand Out, speaks to the role we all play in shaping confident and caring young people. When we lead with courage, consistency and compassion, we help children find their own voice and place within our school. Every action, no matter how small, reminds our learners that they matter and that they belong.

At the heart of our work is a clear commitment to ensuring every child has every chance, every day. We strive to provide meaningful opportunities across academics, sport, culture and service so that each learner can discover their strengths and reach their potential.

I look forward to partnering with our families and staff as we continue to build a school where learners feel proud to step up, and confident to stand out.

Dit is ‘n voorreg om u welkom te heet by Laerskool Kenridge. Óf u nou vir die eerste keer by ons gemeenskap aansluit óf al vir baie jare deel daarvan is, u word hartlik verwelkom in ‘n skool waar kinders waardeer, ondersteun en aangemoedig word om te groei.

Laerskool Kenridge is gegrond op sterk verhoudings, ‘n gedeelde doel en ‘n diep gevoel van behoort. Ons waardes van: “Kindness, Perseverance and Service”(Vriendelikheid, Deursettingsvermoë en Diens) lei ons in hoe ons onderrig, leer en omgee vir mekaar. Hierdie waardes is sigbaar in ons klaskamers, op die sportvelde en in die manier waarop ons leerders met die wêreld rondom hulle omgaan.

Ons tema: “Step Up and Stand Out” (Staan op en Staan uit), spreek die rol aan wat ons almal speel in die vorming van selfversekerde en sorgsame jongmense. Wanneer ons met moed, konsekwentheid en deernis lei, help ons kinders om hul eie stem en plek binne ons skool te vind. Elke aksie, maak nie saak hoe klein nie, herinner ons leerders daaraan dat hulle saak maak en dat hulle behoort.

In die hart van ons werk lê ‘n duidelike verbintenis om te verseker dat elke kind elke kans, elke dag kry. Ons streef daarna om betekenisvolle geleenthede te bied in akademie, sport, kultuur en diens sodat elke leerder hulle sterkpunte kan ontdek en hul potensiaal kan bereik.

Ek sien uit daarna om saam met ons gesinne en personeel te werk terwyl ons voortgaan om ‘n skool te bou waar leerders trots voel om op te staan, en selfversekerd is om uit te staan.
