Primary School in Surrey Estate, Athlone. We aim to make learning fun! It strives to provide much more than just a quality education.
Surrey strives always for excellence in education, but it is no longer merely an institution of learning. Educators have become counsellors, parents and friends. Surrey has become, for most of its learners, not only a school but a home and a haven, with forty or so parents who are trying to see to the physical, intellectual and emotional needs of their children.

Good Day Parents
We trust this communication finds you well.
Our T2P values for the month of April are Sharing, Caring and Kindness, and the chosen colour for this month is Green.
As has become our custom, we will be having a values driven Civvies day on Wednesday, 26 April. Our learners are encouraged to wear a green item or clothing, and the cost is R10.
To practice the values of the month, we are also asking all learners to bring along something to share with a friend (and here we encourage our learners to get creative - we can share a lot more than food... Your favourite books, poems, music, games, kind words, etc).
We hope to see all our learners participating in the celebrations.
Good Afternoon Surrey Family
We trust you all are keeping warm and dry on this chilly, wet day.

Also please share this post with as many as you can, so we can help this family soon.

Our values for the month of February are "Vision and Focus" and this year we are going to look into exciting ways to incorporate our T2P values into the school day/week. An opportunity presented itself to kick this month off with our senior learners.
With the amount of access our children have to the Internet and the "influencer culture" that has become normal, a valid concern for many parents is the kinds of role models they are exposed to.
The best kind of role model is someone you can relate to on a real level, and we were fortunate to be able to introduce our children to such a person.
On Thursday afternoon, our Grade 7 learners had the pleasure of engaging with Doctor Randall Ortel
For those unfamiliar with his story, he is a born and bred son of Manenberg who went from "Taxi driver to Doctor".
It took a few minutes for our learners to open up, but the more they heard of his story and his life, the more they started to engage and ask very real questions... And by the end of the session, they did not want Dr Ortel to leave.
Our hope was that seeing one of their own reach such levels of success would inspire and motivate our seniors... And would show them that so much is possible with sensible choices, the right attitude and hard work.

Happy Friday Surrey Family!
It has been a busy week - with our first parent meeting of the year on Wednesday, a special visit on Thursday (more about this in the next post) and some fun activities today.
We ended off the week celebrating World Read Aloud Day by asking our learners to come dressed as their favourite book character, and as usual, our learners did not disappoint and came with some amazing get ups 😁
A big thank you to Mr Isaacs for organising some of our senior learners to go around to the classrooms for story time.
Enjoy the images below, be safe and have a wonderful weekend!
