THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK
MESSAGES FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Welcome to the Bosmansdam family!
We, the Governing Body and staff, are thrilled to have you join this vibrant community, rich in history and a passion for learning. Since 1966, Bosmansdam Primary has nurtured young minds, staying true to our motto, “ALTIORA PETE” – Aim for Higher Things.
Just like a family, our dedicated teachers cultivate a “Growth Mindset,” where creativity and critical thinking bloom alongside a strong academic foundation. We are proud to be a parallel medium school, embracing both English and Afrikaans, fostering respect and inclusivity in every classroom.
But our school’s true magic lies in the partnership we forge with you, our parent community. We stand together as a support system, with us cheering on our children’s achievements at school, and you providing unwavering encouragement and engagement at home.
And beyond the classroom, we value your involvement in our school program! We believe in a holistic approach to education, where learning extends beyond textbooks. Our school provides a safe and supportive environment for our children to develop important life skills, build confidence and gaining a sense of responsibility.
Let’s make Bosmansdam a place where our children soar in all aspects of life!
