A
Message from the Principal
|
"The dream begins with a
teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to
the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick
called truth." - Dan Rather
Our function as a school is
complex by nature. If it were to only impact knowledge our
task would be simple. We are however mindful of the fact that
we are helping to mould the most precious person in you life, and as
such we take our responsibilities extremely serious.
We are blessed at Brackenhurst
Primary School to have fine teachers in our midst, people who have
dedicated themselves to the holistic development of these wonderful
young children. While
academic excellence will always remain our top priority, it is a
well known fact that the fondest memories that a child will make
will not necessarily be in the classroom, but rather after school in
the many and varied activities that a school has to offer.
There is a special place for every child at our school in terms of
these extra curricula activities. If they are not inclined to
sport, then encourage them to participate in cultural activities.
Furthermore they can become involved in service to our community.
Whatever their gift in life is, and each child has a special gift,
it is incumbent on both the educators and parents to encourage them
to develop these talents. This will ensure a self confident,
well rounded child.
Children today are faced with growing up in an age of enormous and
often difficult choices, life is often not simple for them. We
are here, together with you the parents, to guide them into making
the very best choices possible and steer them on the sometimes
perilous course to achieving their full potential as adults.
Let us strive as a Brackenhurst family to at al times keep the
golden triangle between educators, parents and child in tact, and
base our actions and decisions on that which is in the child's best
interest.
