The Principal, Mr Mbona, has a vision for the school and along with Sam-Lyn and now Treverton Prep, they hope to make their school a centre of influence in the area.

After an extremely successful collection of Easter eggs for the children of Kolpeegte School last term, the grade six class from Treverton Prep have committed to be involved with the grade six learners from Kopleegte in helping to achieve the school’s vision.

On June 20 the grade six class from Treverton Prep as well as parents and new friends of Kopleegte School were part of a work party to begin the partnership along with the staff from Sam-Lyn Edu Centre.
