Janse van Rensburg together with his family sent the following message to the teachers:

“Met groot opgewondenheid sien ons uit daarna om deel van die Frans du Toit-familie te word en ons passie vir onderwys, vir kinders en vir ‘n gemeenskap, uit te leef!

“In nederigheid en dankbaarheid teenoor ons Skepper vir hierdie geleentheid, wil ons dien, tradisie vestig en saam met ‘n positiewe onderwyskorps nuwe horisonne ontdek.

“My strewe is om prestasiegerig potensiaal en geleenthede te identifiseer, personeel, leerders en gemeenskapsvennote te ontwikkel.

Voorts om te verseker dat Hoërskool Frans du Toit sy regmagtige plek inneem as voorkeurkeuse vir uitnemende onderrig.

“As teachers we are the creators of dreams, the givers of hope, the ones to lead our learners towards excelling in various fields, to be builders of a national pride.

We are instrumental in changing potential into reality, in setting a solid foundation based on values and quality teaching.

Our passion for teaching must ignite a passion for life in every person who walks through our doors.

“La Bofelo: Tshwaraganang, lo dire, pula e nne – a re dire mmogo go bona borutegi, go atlega ka sengwe le sengwe se re se dirang!” the message reads.
