🌱 VALUES IN EDUCATION — BUILDING MORE THAN MINDS 🌱

Education is not only about teaching children to read, write and solve problems. It is about helping them become good human beings. ❤️

Values such as Respect, Kindness, Honesty, Courage, Equality, Gratitude, Responsibility and Teamwork shape the way our learners treat themselves, others and the world around them.

📚 Knowledge prepares a child for a career.
💛 Values prepare a child for life.

When we teach values, we help children learn to:
✨ make responsible choices
✨ show empathy and kindness
✨ respect differences
✨ stand up for what is right
✨ take responsibility for their actions
✨ work together and support one another
✨ become confident, caring members of society

Every lesson is an opportunity to teach a value. Every interaction is an opportunity to model one. Every child is watching.

Let's not only raise successful learners — let's raise good people who make a difference. 🌍💙

📚✨ GERRIT MARITZ PRIMARY | YEARBOOK 2026 ✨📚

🎶 What if our teachers had taught in the 80’s? 🎶

Big hair, bigger shoulder pads, funky outfits and enough hairspray to last a lifetime! 😂💃🕺

We decided to take a little trip back in time and imagine what our amazing teachers would have looked like if they had been teaching in the totally tubular 1980s! 📼📺✨

And the best part? Some of them weren’t even born yet! 🤣🤣
But that didn’t stop them from absolutely ROCKING the 80’s! 🎸🕶️

From teased hair to retro fashion, our teachers are proving that you don’t have to have lived through the 80’s to look like you belong there! 😎

🌟 Gerrit Maritz Primary Yearbook 2026
Because sometimes you just need a little nostalgia, a lot of laughter and WAY too much hairspray! 😂💕

🐾🪙 THE CHANGE FOR CHANGE CHALLENGE! 🪙🐾
Calling ALL our Gerrit Maritz learners! 📣
It’s time to put your spare change to BIG change! 💙💚
From 24 August – 2 October, we are joining hands with the Randwest SPCA to help animals who need love, care and a second chance. 🐶🐱🐾
🎯 YOUR CHALLENGE: Bring your coins and help fill our collection boxes!
💰 50 cents? YES! 💰 R1? YES! 💰 R5? YES! 💰 A handful of coins? EVEN BETTER! 😍
Remember: You don't need a lot to make a difference. When hundreds of learners each contribute a little, those little coins can become a BIG helping hand for animals in need. ❤️
🏆 LET THE CHALLENGE BEGIN! Which class will collect the most? Which learner will become our Change for Change Champion? Which grade will show the biggest heart for animals? 🐾
🌟 Every coin counts. Every learner can help. Every animal deserves a second chance.
So, Gerrit Maritz...
