Groote Schuur Primary’s production of Wish Upon a Star took place from 25 to 27 September 2018 and what a huge success it was! A fourth show was put on to try and accommodate all the excited families that wanted to see their children performing. The learners rehearsed for many, many hours and the result was a standing ovation on all 3 nights! A huge congratulations to the team that worked behind the scenes and put the whole production together and a special shout out to all our wonderful actors, actresses and choir members! Fantastic Show![Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”10″ gal_title=”Wish Upon a Star”]
Groote Schuur Primary participated in a Sports Day at Zwaanswyk on Saturday 18 August. We played against a number of schools where we had a few losses but also one or two good wins too. There were about 2000 people on the day, which created a wonderful atmosphere which the players and supporters all thoroughly enjoyed. Well done to all!

Our Netball, hockey and rugby teams played against Kronendal Primary from Hout Bay, on Saturday 4 August. Despite the few drops of rain in the early morning, we had some good support from our parents and learners. A huge thank you goes out to Kronendal’s staff, parents and learners for coming out and enjoying the morning with us.
For those that are new to our school, Bingo is our annual fundraiser for our Grade 7’s. They go on a tour of the Garden Route every year and this is an important part of assisting the parent’s in covering the cost of the tour. So after much gathering of prizes, planning and preparing, the evening of Bingo arrived. There was great anticipation and excitement about the prizes that everyone wanted to win.
There were many shouts of Bingo during the evening, with smiles on the faces of the happy winners. The tuckshop kept up with the demands of the hungry players and produced some delicious food. A wonderful evening was had by all!
A huge thank you to all who contributed to making the evening a success and we hope to see you all again next year!!
Our 2013 Gr 7 pupils are in Matric this year and a few of them attended the Wynberg Girls High Matric Dance recently. We are so glad they decided to take a photo together, taking us down memory lane. All grown up and ready to take on the world!

On Monday our Grade 6’s were tasked to make a sweet cookie or a sweet pizza. They had such fun putting their creations together, as the video below shows. The poor judges were completely sugared out by the time they were done!

After much anticipation the evening of our Family Camp Out arrived, Friday 9 March presented us with perfect camp out weather!
Campers started arriving at 16:00 to set up their tents and get settled in for the evening. It was wonderful to see children running around and playing out in the open. There was a fantastic atmosphere all around the school. The jumping castle and soccer shoot out were popular activities while the disco and movie were particular highlights. A surprise visit from our Principal, Mr Nefdt, who has been on sick leave this term, got everyone very excited. Good to see you looking so fit and healthy Mr Nefdt!!
A huge thank you needs to go out to the staff, PTA and a few parents who jumped in to help when it was needed. Everyone worked extremely hard to make the evening a success. The PTA unfortunately had to deal with a few electricity gremlins on the evening, which slowed the food orders down a bit but they bravely soldiered on and were able to fill everyone’s tummy’s in the end. Thank you so much for your love and dedication to the school. It would not be possible to put an event on like this, without your assistance. It is genuinely appreciated!
