Pre-School History

At the Pre-School the focus is on the holistic development of the children to prepare them for the start of formal education in Grade 1. The children’s emotional, social, physical and intellectual development is encouraged in a loving and nurturing environment.

In 1989, to meet the need for a Pre-School, together with Mr Greg McLeod, headmistress Marianne Lichkus took on the task of building from scratch a pre-school institution. This opened in 1990 with an initial intake of 50 children and a teaching staff of three. Today, we have 177 children with a staff complement of 24. Grades 0000 to Grade 0. The Coding and Robotics programme was introduced in 2018 and the curriculum has grown and developed every year since. The children are exposed to 7 different types of Robots, programming Apps and engineering principles while expanding and developing their critical thinking and problem solving skills.
