You and your child come to the school. The class teacher meets the child for about twenty minutes. You sit with the principal over tea, and ask anything you would like.

Honest answers · Dipotso
Ten questions parents actually ask us.
Tap any question to read our answer. Phone us if it does not cover yours — we keep this list short on purpose.
When are applications open?
For Grade R and Grade 1, applications open 1 July each year for the following January intake. Other grades are taken on a rolling basis as space allows. Drop in any school day between 08:00 and 14:30.
What are the fees? Are scholarships available?
There are no school fees. We are a Quintile 1 No-Fee school under SASA. Books, NSNP lunches, and the SGB-funded items (sports kit, art supplies) are all free. Uniforms are bought once a year — the SGB runs a uniform-exchange table for second-hand sets.
How is lunch arranged?
Every learner gets a free hot lunch every school day under the National School Nutrition Programme. The kitchen is on-site, run by two trained cooks from our parent body, and the menu rotates weekly between pap-and-morogo, samp-and-beans, soya mince, and fortified maize porridge.
Is school transport available?
Yes. The provincial scholar-transport service runs two routes that we serve — the Lichtenburg road and the Ottosdal road — for learners who live more than 5 km from the school. A trained school assistant rides each bus. Speak to the office about the form.
What is the class size and learner-teacher ratio?
Our overall ratio in 2024 is around 31:1 — 1 184 learners across 38 educators and support staff. Foundation Phase classes (Grade R–3) are typically capped at 35; Senior Phase classes can reach 40 in larger years.
What about English? My child only speaks Setswana.
Our Foundation Phase Language of Learning and Teaching is Setswana, with English as a First Additional Language from Grade R. From Grade 4 the LOLT switches to English. We support the transition with a daily Drop Everything And Read slot, and small Saturday-morning catch-up groups when needed.
How much homework should I expect?
Foundation Phase: 20 minutes a day, mostly reading. Intermediate Phase: 30–40 minutes. Senior Phase: 60 minutes. We send home one weekly homework sheet per class — never more — so you can plan around the family’s evenings.
Until what time is aftercare available?
Our parent-volunteer aftercare runs from end-of-school until 17:00 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. It is free and supervised. Children play, do homework with a Grade 7 buddy, and have a small fruit snack. Please book the term before.
How do transfers from another school work?
Bring your child’s most recent report and a transfer letter from the previous school. We will register the move on SA-SAMS within ten working days. Mid-year transfers are welcome — we run a quiet first-week buddy system to help your child settle.
Do you support children with special learning needs?
We are not a Full-Service School (yet), but we work closely with the District-Based Support Team and the local Inclusive Education office in Mahikeng. We do informal screenings, hold individual support meetings, and refer to specialist schools where the support a child needs is greater than ours.
