Edenglen Primary School staff. We pride ourselves in not only our excellent standard of education but also our dedicated and enthusiastic staff, who are always striving to improve the standards within our school. Please note that we are working on updating this section of our website. Executive Ms Heather Broodryk Principal Ms Broodryk is Principal of Edenglen Primary School. She is committed to maintaining standards of excellence for children from all walks of life. 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. She sets goals and keeps at them. She is open for ideas from different perspectives. She is creative and has innovative ideas and an asset in a team as she can initiate and follow. 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. Ms Paige Donnelly Departmental Head (Intermediate Phase) Ms Donnelly 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. Ms Donnelly 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.

Whilst many schools host an annual “Big Walk”, the PA wanted a walk with a difference – a walk that would encourage families to spend time together and interact with one another in a spirit of community building. This year, on Saturday 3 February, the PA surpassed even its own expectations by selling a whopping 1 200 tickets to the event! Parents and children alike rose to the challenge and dressed in whatever funky, super hero outfit they could find. Those who were more sedate in nature were content just to participate in the 5km walk, whilst the more athletically minded decided to sprint in record time. Even the teachers led by example, with the water points manned (or should we also say womanned?) by staff in funky super hero costumes! The Funky Walk really did prove to be a community project. As soon as we sold our 1 000th ticket, organisers had to move fast to arrange ambulances on standby on the field, as per municipal regulations. Eager to contribute towards the festive atmosphere and to ensure that the day would not be marred by any unforeseen injuries or calamities, not one but three ambulances came to our rescue to stand guard at the Finish Line. Fortunately, their services were not required, but we went the extra mile to make sure that nothing was left to chance. After an exuberant race to the end, many families stayed behind to recharge their batteries and feast on tasty food like Prego rolls, boerewors rolls, hamburgers and hotdogs. Spot prizes were given to those who had entered the race and the fun continued long after the race had ended. To all the PA members who organised the Funky Walk, kudos to you for a superb event and a big thank you to the teachers for working from 06:30 until the race had ended. To the parents, children and community members who participated in this event, we extend a special word of appreciation for making the day such a huge success. Roll on 2019 – we can’t wait to see what a fantastic event the next Funky Walk will be! Easter Raffle Winners: 1st Prize – Molemo Mphuthi 2nd Prize – Julie McAdam 3rd Prize – Awande Mahlobo Child who raised the most money – Antony Kirk Class that raised the most money will be announced on 12 April and will receive a pizza lunch. A big thank you to our Easter Egg Hunt sponsors, Karaglen Superspar and Birchgate Spar – the learners had a ball searching the school grounds for the eggs. We would also like to extend a big thank you to the PA – all the parent and the partners of the PA who give up precious time to make events successful and fun for everyone. Thank you for all your efforts, the events have been enjoyed by all. Grade 7 Career Day 2018 Awards 2018 Foundation Phase Awards 2018 Intersen Phase Awards 2018 Grade 7 Kwalata 2018 The EPS 40th Birthday Party Grade 1 Orientation Art Exhibition 2018 Science Scufflers First day at school After a restless night and much tossing and turning, it was time to hand out the tissues, fix the appearance and get ready for the first day in Grade One – and that was just for the parents! The first day in Grade One proved to be an exciting event for most of our learners. The children were excited to meet their teachers for the first time and to see where they would sit. Of course, most importantly, they couldn’t wait to see what their lunch boxes contained! New friendships were forged over sandwiches and tasty delights which had been packed for this special day. Fears overcome, there was much fun to be had as boys and girls played together on the jungle gym and told their new friends all about themselves. After handing in books and stationery, some children went on a tour of the school and were shown two of the most important places in a school – the toilets and the tuck shop. Then it was back to some fun learning and before you knew it, the bell had rung and it was time to go home. Only one more sleep before the fun would begin all over again!

What our Mindful Masters do? School counsellors help you to... Our Story As part of our dynamic school-based support team, we as the Mindful Masters of Edenglen Primary are passionate about mental health. We are a multi-disciplinary team comprising of an Educational Psychologist, Social Worker and Life Coach that share our experience and expertise to gain a broad understanding of each child’s unique needs and work together to offer holistic support. Our primary focus is emotional and social well-being, self-care, practical interventions as well as parenting interaction. Meet The Team

At Edenglen Primary School, we believe in the holistic education of learners. We also believe that preparing children to take on a meaningful role in society in the years to come means taking the time to assist each learner reach his or her full potential in all areas of school life. At Edenglen Primary School, we believe in the holistic education of learners. We also believe that preparing children to take on a meaningful role in society in the years to come means taking the time to assist each learner reach his or her full potential in all areas of school life. With our modern and reliable resource facilities and a wide educational infrastructure, Edenglen provides learners an idea base from which they can explore – and realise - their full potential. Academics Academics remains one of our most important priorities. We teach strictly according to the curricular policy and prescriptions of the Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS Curriculum). Formal assessment tasks, as captured in the CAPS curriculum, are done regularly and learners receive a formal assessment plan each term. These assessments, calculated according to the Departmental 1 to 7 -point scale, determine the final mark of each subject. Meanwhile, continuous informal assessment takes place daily according to various assessment strategies in preparation for formal assessment tasks. At the end of Term 2 and Term 4, learners from Grade 4 to 7 also write examinations according to a set examination time table. Recognition and academic awards are given to those who are placed within the Top Five, and subject awards are also given. Learner support Assisting us to support learners experiencing learning difficulties are a number of specialist within our immediate community. We refer learners to credible speech therapists, occupational therapists, and remedial therapists. We also have a speech therapist, an occupational therapist, and a remedial therapist who work on the school premises twice a week. This means therapy can be built into the learners’ school day. It also allows teachers and therapists to work more closely together, ensuring maximum benefit from the support programme. Should a learner require any of the above therapies, an assessment is carried out. Based on the outcome, an appropriate intervention programme is put into place. Where possible, this is incorporated into the classroom by the teacher. There may, however, be a need for the parent or guardian to take the child for additional therapy, which would be for the cost of the parent. Above all, parental involvement is the biggest support needed.
