We congratulate our 2018 Matrics on their outstanding achievements in the Independent Examination Board (IEB) Examinations.  We are very proud of their achievements and celebrate, with them, the start of a new phase in their lives.

The teachers have put in countless hours and much dedication to guide our Matrics through the curriculum and ensure they possess the necessary skills to reach their potential.  Thank you and well done to the teachers!

Thank you to everyone who played a role in supporting our Matrics to achieve these outstanding results.  I am confident the Grade 12 group of 2019 as well as the rest of our grades will aspire to achieve the academic results which will continue to make our community proud.

The 2019 school year holds so many great possibilities and opportunities for the students and staff at Crawford North Coast.  The school offers every student, the opportunity to excel and every student is acknowledged as an individual.  The child-centred approach to education from Grade 0000 to Grade 12 ensures that students examine and realise their own potential.  Our excellent faculty of staff are here to assure students have every opportunity to succeed in all academic areas and to achieve amazing future goals. Furthermore, the Crawford extra-curricular programmes allow students to be involved in activities outside of the academic core content areas, that proves to be attributable to increased academic success.

I often advocate to the students that they need to find their purpose in life.  Anyone who knows their purpose will be able to do more, tolerate more and achieve more.  The only way we can reach our potential, is if we believe in our purpose, the reason for our being at this moment in time:  right here, right now.

I wish you, the Crawford community, a wonderful school year. I look forward to following the continued growth of Crawford College North Coast.  I have absolute faith that, with its dedicated staff, this school will continue on its path to reaching great heights.

Warm regards

André Loots
