As a school, we are committed to always giving our best to our learners. Our staff are enthusiastic and dedicated. Our learners are motivated to achieve their very best in all aspects of school life. We firmly believe that developing our learners into well-rounded individuals is essential, and therefore, we offer a wealth of opportunities in sport, music, culture, and a wide range of other pursuits across all age groups.

Testimonial

What parent and guardians say

As a past parent of The Pinelands Primary, I remain deeply grateful for the school’s warm, nurturing environment and dedicated teachers. The values and confidence instilled in my child continue to shine through. The Pinelands Primary truly builds both hearts and minds.”

Megen Appolis, Past Parent

The Pinelands Primary is a school that strives for excellence in sports and academics. It’s a school that allowed me to excel academically and in sport. It is a school community which is inclusive and encouraging. I will forever be grateful for all the opportunities I received at The Pinelands Primary in both sport and academics.”

Leah Jones – Women’s Western Province Cricket Captain, Past Pupil

I have greatly appreciated the school’s commitment to open communication with parents, its engaging extracurricular programmes, and its focus on student well-being. These qualities truly make a difference and reflect the school’s strong values and dedication to student success.

Sumaya Davids, Past Parent

The teachers were caring, dedicated and always went the extra mile to help each child reach their potential. The curriculum is well-balanced, with a good mix of academics, arts and sports. My children always felt safe and supported. Respect, teamwork and kindness were always emphasised among the students. The school fosters a strong sense of community, and parents are always encouraged to partake in many events and fundraisers. Communication with the teachers was always excellent, and meeting with the teacher to discuss results or any concerns could be easily arranged.
