LAERSKOOL WELGEMOED PRIMARY

Welgemoed Primary first opened its doors in 1965 with 41 learners and 2 teachers. The school was housed across the street where we presently have the Pick ‘n Pay Centre. True to its motto, ‘Prospicimus’ (look ahead), the school has grown and expanded and thanks to dedicated cooperation and assistance from an involved parent community, Welgemoed Primary is both grateful and proud to say that we are able to offer our learners excellent facilities in near perfect surroundings. We pride ourselves on creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere in which to nurture our children and to fulfil our mission of guiding our learners to develop their God-given talents optimally in a climate of security and love.

At Welgemoed Primary we truly care about each member of our family. In our striving for excellence we integrate learning and technology. Apart from having a fully equipped Media Centre with an Interactive Whiteboard facility, as well as a computer classroom where IT is taught to all our learners, every classroom in our school is also equipped with a computer and plasma screen. Achieving a goal is the culmination of talent, dedication and perseverance. Some goals are shared goals, others are personal. Because we at Welgemoed Primary wish every learner to experience a measure of success, we offer remedial help at the Prospicimus Education Centre, as well as access to specialised services such as speech and occupational therapy. We also have a dedicated Teacher Support
