Ms Broodryk believes in providing holistic education so that every child is given the opportunity to shine. She credits the staff and the partnership with parents for developing not only academic achievers, but also individuals in with an impeccable value system. Ms Rebecca Auckland Deputy Principal Ms Auckland is a firm believer that every child has a unique and special potential that needs to be uncovered and made into something beautiful. She is passionate about making a difference in the lives of teachers and children and believes that if children love school, she has achieved an important goal in helping the child to reach self-actualisation. Mrs Corlia Vorster Deputy Principal Mrs Vorster believes that every child has the ability to achieve success. She constantly strives to empower teachers and learners, and provide them with opportunities to reach their full potential. Together we attain "Knowledge for Life". Ms Louise North Departmental Head (Foundation Phase) Ms North has joined our team at Edenglen Primary School with a spirit of compassion and love for the teaching fraternity. She advocates kindness, firmly believing that respect, tolerance and acceptance emanates from it. Based on this foundation, she seeks to aspire our learners to lead a life of significance and purpose. Mrs Sanet Eksteen Departmental Head (Intermediate Phase) Mrs. Eksteen has been at Edenglen Primary since 2004, starting as a teacher in the Intermediate Phase. She has been the subject convenor for Afrikaans since 2004 and Life Skills since 2018. She was a Grade Head for ten years for Grade 4 and the Head of Culture from 2004 till 2024. She managed and directed concerts over the years as well as organising participation in Eisteddfods. She became a Departmental Head in 2016. Mrs. Eksteen leads by example.

Mrs Taryn Maconochie Departmental Head (Foundation Phase) Children are unique, each with their own way of learning, exploring and experiencing the world. Education should be a journey that sparks curiosity and fosters a love for learning. Mrs Mac's motto is simple; when children love school, they thrive. By creating an environment where they feel excited, supported and inspired, we can help them build a lifelong passion for education. A learner who loves school approaches challenges with enthusiasm, grows in confidence and develops the skills needed to succeed. When children find joy in learning, their potential is limitless. Mrs Paige Smit Departmental Head (Intermediate Phase) Mrs Smit knows how essential it is to appreciate the value in nurturing young minds through an all encompassing framework. She believes inarguably, that each student's uniqueness and dedication is what shapes his/ her future, but positive and consistent parental involvement is the real key to unlocking a child's true capabilities. Mrs Smit sees teaching and mentorship as a rewarding profession that requires dedication, empathy, and an openness to being a life long learner herself. The Edenglen Primary School community excels due to the support of its parents, educators, learners and general staff, all of which makes it a great environment to work in.

Extra-curricular activities at Edenglen Primary are exactly that - an invaluable extension of the curriculum and the educational experience we aim to provide. Extra-curricular activities at Edenglen Primary are exactly that - an invaluable extension of the curriculum and the educational experience we aim to provide. While not compulsory, participation is strongly encouraged, and a majority of our pupils are involved in one or more activity. Athletics All learners are invited to take part in Athletics. Interhouse? Learners have the opportunity to excel during the athletics season Which is when? by taking part in interschool Athletics meetings. Choir Choir is offered year-round to our Juniors (Grade 1 to Grade 3) and to our Seniors (Grade 4 to Grade 7). This is carried out by qualified music teachers at our school, who work to ensure that when the stage lights go on the quality of our choirs is outstanding. Both choir groups work towards competing in the annual Eisteddfod and various other events where their talents can be showcased. Cross Country Interested learners take on various cross-country trails as they work towards representing their District at the end of the season which is when? This activity is offered from U9 and is limited to U13 participation. Please clarify? Do only the U13s compete formally? Cricket Mini Cricket is offered to Grade 1 and Grade 2 learners. Our aim at this level is developing critical motor skills and a basic knowledge of the game of cricket. Players get the chance to show off their skills at Mini Cricket matches, which take place on Saturday mornings at various venues during Term 1. Senior Cricket is offered to Grade 3 and Grade 4 learners. In higher grades like Grade 5-7 strategic play and improvement of skill becomes the focus and coaching becomes more technical. Cricket teams play 20-Over matches during the week against schools in and around the Edenvale area. Dance Dance is offered only to our Grade 3 group on a voluntary basis to those learners who have some ‘slick moves’ to show off for the Eisteddfod. Learners are coached throughout Term 2 in preparation for competition in Term 3. There is much fun to be had here! Eisteddfod The National Eisteddfod of South Africa is the biggest cultural competition for school learners in the country. It offers various opportunities for performers in all communities to showcase and develop their talent in music, dance, theatre, and fine arts. Staged during the third term, the Eisteddfod has become a highlight for learners participating in the Arts, including English poetry, Drama, Afrikaans Poetry, Drama, Group Dancing for Grade 3, Speekkoor for Grade 4 and Grade 5; as well as Vocal Categories for Senior and Junior Choir, and Art Grade 1 – 7. Preparation and practice for these activities take place during Term 2, with various groups and individuals competing at organised Eisteddfod competitions during Term 3. Hockey Grade 1 - Grade 3 learners are offered Hockey on a smaller scale than the older grades. These learners are given the opportunity to learn the basic skills and principles of the game while competing against other schools and playing their matches on a smaller field space than normal. As learners progress and improve upon their Hockey skills, field space is increased, until they are introduced to full field Hockey by the time they reach Grade 7. Media Our beautiful Media and Resource Centre is stocked with the latest book titles, both fiction and non-fiction. It’s also equipped with individual work stations, which are popular with learners and teachers for accessing the Internet for research. Our very own Media Centre teacher, Mrs Dos Santos, presents courses on how to use the Media Centre effectively and how to encourage reading programmes to teachers from other schools. Netball and Mini Netball During the summer season, Grade 1 -3 learners take part in Mini Netball as an introduction to the sport. Grade 4 - Grade 7 girls are then coached in advanced Netball skills. All teams compete against schools in and around the Edenvale area, giving all participants an opportunity to hone their match skills in a competitive environment. Rugby Rugby is offered to Grade 4 - 7 learners on a competitive level where players get to face off against other schools in a rugby league. To ensure the safety of all learners taking part in the sport, all coaches are Boksmart Certified and World Rugby Qualified. Before they are able to join rugby in their grade 4 year, Grade 3 learners receive a crucial introduction to the basics of the sport as well as safe practice during play. Soccer Soccer is a crowd-pleaser at our school, with all learners from Grade 1 - 7 joining in on the fun. There is provision for a girls team and the Sports Co-ordinator is hard at work to get this going. Grade 1 - 3 learners enjoy playing soccer on a smaller format than the older age groups. Once again this allows them to get used to the basic skill requirements of the game before it becomes competitive in the older age groups. Chess For those learners who prefer to enjoy some competition indoors we have chess. Learners take part in Term 1, 2 and 3 from grades 2 - 7. Speech & Drama For those learners more dramatically inclined, our Speech & Drama Club is the perfect platform for the development of that star quality and stage presence. Learners take part in Term 3 competitions at the Eisteddfod.

"We can change the world and make it a better place. it is in your hands to make a difference." "We can change the world and make it a better place. it is in your hands to make a difference." Nelson Mandela Nelson Mandela Nelson Mandela Nelson Mandela In the spirit of Nelson Mandela, we would like to participate as a school in a Mandela Day Drive. These are the two worthy projects that we have decided to endorse this year. The first involves donating a carton of fat-free long-life milk which is use to feed orphaned baby rhinos. South Africa is blessed to have these magnificent creatures, but illegal rhino poaching has caused catastrophic results for the rhino population, which is facing constant depletion because of poaching. You may donate as many cartons as you like, so long as it is fat-free long-life milk which is easier for the baby rhinos to digest. https://ferriscars.com/supercare-rhino-run/ The second project involves collection donations for the SPCA. As all are aware the SPCA is always in need of food, blankets and funds especially with the ever-growing number of surrendered animals and the number of pets not sterilised. You may donate funds to the school, food or blankets. Any form of donation and fund raising makes a huge difference to the SPCA's ability to care for the animal and makes a difference in the community. During the third term we will be handing over all our donations to the chosen charities and we know that they will appreciate any heartfelt gesture made to them. The aim of this initiative is two-fold. Firstly, we would like to make the children aware that there are people and animals less fortunate than themselves in all aspects of life and that if we are in a position to share a little of what we have, we should. Secondly, we would like to educate them about the different charities. Thank you in advance for the support. Rhino Orphan Supercar Run 2024 Schools Brochure
