Big smiles greet ‘big school’ at Laerskool Die President

Grade One learners were excited to begin learning on Wednesday.

The corridors and classrooms of Laerskool Die President were bustling with activity on Wednesday as children returned to school for the start of the academic year.

Principal Sybrand van Dyk said the school was booming with a large increase in numbers this year.

There are, however, a few spaces still available for Afrikaans learners.

“We are looking forward to developing successful South African citizens with a passion for life and dedication,” van Dyk said.

“Here we grow dentists, engineers and tradesmen.”

“I am extremely positive for the year and we are bristling with optimism,” said van Dyk.

“It is a new decade.

“We will still stick to our vision and mission as a school, but we also want to instil self-confidence in the children.

“They must know that they are worthy and dearly loved.”
