Success is not an accident. It is hard work, perseverance, sacrifice. And most of all …… A love of what you are doing or learning to do – Pelé

Congratulations to our Grade 2 Learners who were involved in the delightful Christmas concert last Thursday. Our Grade 2’s certainly brought the Christmas spirit to the occasion. You were Superstars boys and girls. Special thanks to Darren, Miss van der Westhuizen, Mrs Holmes, Mrs Tyler, Mrs Stols and the Grade 2 teachers for an incredibly special morning. Whether you were coaching children or decorating the hall (which was exquisite) you all contributed to the success of the morning – heartfelt appreciation.

Good luck to our Grade 7’s who write their penultimate Controlled Tests today and finally finish tomorrow. To our Grades 4 – 6 learners, breathe a collective sigh of relief – Controlled Tests for 2024 are done and dusted.

All our learners are now busy with either assessments or Controlled Tests. On behalf of the School, I would once again, like to wish all our boys and girls every success. Boys and girls give each assessment or test your absolute best and be proud of your work. You can do this!

We have enjoyed a most wonderful celebration of academic excellence this past week. Our compliments are extended to Mr Minnaar, Mrs Robb and their respective departments for three superb Prize Givings. Our congratulations, once again, to the Grade 4, 5 & 6 recipients of awards – well done boys and girls, we are proud of you.

Many of our learners bravely stepped up this term. Whether it was with new challenges in the classroom, on the sportsfield, at chess or practising for the concert. We applaud you. The sense of accomplishment was so heart-warming to see. Keep moving forward boys and girls – you can do it.

Out heartfelt thanks to the RPS family – the staff, the children and their parents for ensuring Term 2 was a great a one. Term 2 is always an extremely busy one, culminating in Controlled Tests. Hence, the winter holidays are perfectly timed!

“Create your own sunshine with positive vibes.”
We have enjoyed a lot of sunshine, both literally and figuratively at RPS this term. Our first term has been a short and
an intense one and we must applaud our staff and learners for going above and beyond.

“Success takes two things, consistency and dedication”
On reflection of Rynfield Primary’s journey through 2023, I can proudly say that our success this year is attributed to both consistency and dedication. The pervasive dedication of our teachers and learners including a generous sprinkling of consistency of purpose has contributed to the overall achievements of RPS.

Rynfield Primary School, crowned winners in the Best of Ekurhuleni, Readers’ Choice Awards for 2023.

The cherry on the top has most definitely been our nomination as a School of Excellence in the Premier Awards. A fantastic collective effort by staff, children, parents and community as a whole. How privileged am I to lead a School that is brimful of opportunity. Wishing everyone a relaxing ‘break’. Just enough time to recharge the batteries and get ready for the ten week final term of 2023.
