Online Process 2022
It is with great enthusiasm that we start the 2023 year.
Dear Parents
A very warm welcome to all our new and existing parents and learners. We look forward to another exciting and successful year at Glenstantia Primary School.
We believe that education is a partnership between the school, the home and the community. I would, therefore, encourage all role players to become actively involved to ensure that all our learners receive the necessary opportunities in order for them to have a full, balanced and positive learning experience at Glenstantia Primary School.
Glenstantia is a Values driven school and we believe that it is important to not only concentrate on achieving our academic goals, but to develop well-rounded boys and girls who will be able to reach their full potential and become active participants in our society. We focus on 12 core values during the year and we encourage parents to engage their children in discussions about these values, enforcing them at home and leading by example.
Our Theme for 2023 is Glenstantia – Dreams, Works and Grows Together. We trust that this will inspire our learners and parents to actively participate in all aspects of school life.
Parents, please guide and support your child by ensuring that he/she:
· Attends school daily and arrives on time, ready and prepared for the day’s learning experiences;
· Completes all homework and assignments given by the teachers;
· Read daily – to develop a love for reading and to improve their literacy skills;
· Has the opportunity to share their school experiences with you daily, so that you can keep abreast of his/her school life and progress;
· Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject;
· Knows that you expect him/her to succeed at school and encourage them to make the most of the opportunities provided.
Let’s all work together to make 2023 a memorable school year!

When text books are issued to learners they are expected to look after them during the year and hand them back in good condition, therefore only hard sided suitcases are permitted.
