Working Together for Our Children’s Success
At Uitsig Primary, we believe that every child deserves the best opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. But this important journey is not one the school can take alone — we need the support and involvement of our children’s first and most important teachers: their parents.
The Department of Basic Education has created a helpful booklet to guide parents in becoming active partners in their child’s education. It aims to answer key questions that many parents have, such as:
How is my child doing at school?
How can I help my child do well and improve?
What can I do to support my child emotionally and socially?
How can I ensure my child has a positive school experience?
By working together in a spirit of respect and cooperation, parents and teachers can create a supportive environment where children thrive. Whether it’s checking homework, talking about school, encouraging reading, or attending school events, every small action makes a big difference.
As the African proverb says, “It takes a village to raise a child.” At Uitsig Primary, we are proud to be part of that village — and we invite every parent to walk this journey with us, side by side.
Let’s build a brighter future for our children, together.
