Helderberg Primary School

About Helderberg Primary School

<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Helderberg College was established in 1893 in Kenilworth, Cape Town.&nbsp; It has been on the present campus since 1928.</p>
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;</p>
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The school is situated on 150ha of farm land on the slopes of Helderberg Mountain.</p>
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;</p>
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Primary School was originally founded to teach staff children and those of missionaries serving in Africa.&nbsp; These children were accommodated in a hostel.</p>
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;</p>
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the growth of the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Somerset West, increasing numbers of children were added, until larger facilities were required.</p>
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;</p>
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1973 the present Primary School building was constructed.</p>
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;</p>
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The town of Somerset West became interested in the unique, independent school which offered individualised Christian Education by dedicated, caring educators.</p>
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;</p>
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Primary School has grown, the facilities have been extended four times.&nbsp; It is still looking at expansion, but is carefully guarding the amiable atmosphere which has made it educationally desirable.</p>
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;</p>
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The school&rsquo;s policy is to educate the whole person.&nbsp; Instruction is therefore aimed at developing the mind, the body and the spiritual being.</p>
