LEARN, PLAY & GROW

At Laerskool Trichardt, we believe that children learn best when they discover with joy, play with passion, and grow with others.

We strive to create a balanced environment where academic excellence, sportsmanship and cultural pride go hand in hand.

ACADEMICS

Our academy offers an environment of small classes, where each learner receives personal attention and focused support. With high-quality educators who are passionate about teaching and development, every child’s unique abilities are recognised and their academic potential is fully developed.

In addition to the core subjects, we also offer extra classes such as robotics, technology, art, and other skills-based programmes. These programmes promote creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and self-confidence. We focus on the holistic development of learners and equip them with the necessary skills to confidently embrace the future.

Trichardt is one of the smallest schools in our province, but we are no match for any school and are more than competitive in all areas of sport. We pride ourselves on having high quality coaches who strive to develop each child to the highest possible level. Our coaches are motivated, attend courses regularly and serve on various Gert Sibande and Provincial committees (for coaching, referees and unions). Our coaches are always willing to go the extra mile and promote parent support through good communication.

The choir regularly performs at school functions, eisteddfods and special events.

We sing together with pride and let our voices bring hope and joy.

Our annual revue and performances bring the stage to life with dance, singing and acting.

Every child gets a chance to shine — whether it's behind the curtain or in the spotlight.

Art

We believe that art teaches children to think, feel and create.
Learners use different materials and techniques to explore their imagination.
Exhibitions and art days give every child the opportunity to proudly show off their work.

Learners participate in internal and inter-school competitions, and learn to express their opinions respectfully.

We believe that every voice matters — and that words can change the world.

Land service

Land service teaches learners to care for their community, appreciate nature, and make a difference. Grade 1–7 learners participate in projects, camps, and team activities that develop leadership, friendship, and responsibility. It is not only about actions, but about hearts that care and hands that help - an opportunity to make the world a better place.

Support Services

At Laerskool Trichardt we believe that every learner is unique and has the right to support that helps unlock their full potential. We offer an integrated support programme that promotes academic, emotional, and social development.

Omgee tannie

At Laerskool Trichardt we believe that every learner deserves the best opportunities, not only in the classroom, but also in their daily lives. We are proud of the variety of initiatives we have to support our less privileged learners and their families.

Nutrition is the foundation for learning, and that is why our nutrition scheme provides a vital meal to our needy learners every day (every break). We are also particularly grateful for the wonderful help of Vissies vir Jesus, who provide our learners with delicious treats twice a week. These extra treats bring a smile to a child's face every time.

With the long December holiday in mind, we are undertaking our annual food parcel project. This allows us to send a food parcel to every needy family at our school for the holiday. This ensures that our learners' basic needs are also taken care of during the school holidays.
