- EVALUERING -
Die leerders in beide die Junior Primêre sowel as Senior Primêre
Fases word deurlopend geëvalueer. ‘n Eksamen word ook in die
2de en 4de kwartaal geskryf in die Senior Fase. Ons beklemtoon
die bemeestering van vakvaardighede en ons streef daarna om
‘n geheelbeeld van elke leerder se akademiese vermoëns weer
te gee.
Vorderingsverlae word elke kwartaal uitgegee vir die Junior en
Senior Primêre Fase en word opgevolg met oueraande
waartydens u u kind(ers) se vordering met die opvoeders kan
bespreek.
By Primêre Skool Veldenvlei word daarna gestreef om die kind
nie net as ‘n akademiese leerder te ontwikkel nie, maar die kind
in sy / haar totaliteit. Ons mik na ‘n skool as deel van ‘n stelsel
van onderwysvennootskappe en netwerke asook om die kind
voor te berei sodat die leerder ‘n aanwins kan wees vir die
gemeenskap en die omgewing.
- ONS SKOOLREëLS -
Die doel van ons reëls is:
- om ‘n omgewing en situasie te skep en te bewaar waar
leerders veilig, sonder stremming en vrese, hul skoolopleiding
kan ontvang;
- om aanvaarbare gedragspatrone aan te leer en met
selfdissipline te beoefen;
- om die beeld van ons skool met trots uit te dra sodat
wetsgehoorsame landsburgers gekweek kan.
WAT DIE SKOOL VAN JOU AS LEERDER VERWAG
Alle leerders moet in die voorgeskrewe skooldrag geklee wees
en dit met trots dra.
Sportdrag word by alle sportoefeninge en byeenkomste gedra.

word. Kort hare moet altyd netjies gekap wees.
Leerders moet ‘n sterk skooltas en pennesakkie hê.
Skoolboeke moet nie in plastiese winkelsakke gedra word nie.
WAT DIE SKOOL VAN ‘N U, AS OUER, VERWAG
Geen leerder mag sonder ‘n grondige rede afwesig wees nie.
Telefoonoproepe ter verskoning is welkom. ‘n Skriftelike brief
moet egter op die dag waarop die leerder terugkeer, gestuur
word. Doktersertifikate word verlang indien die leerder meer as
drie dae afwesig is.
Dokters- en tandartsafsprake moet na skoolure gemaak word.
Afsprake met die hoof en opvoeders asook besoeke aan die
skool moet vooraf per afspraak deur die sekretaresse gemaak

aandag sal ontvang.
Die volledige skoolreëls en dissiplinêre prosedures word

die kantoor.
- EVALUATION -
We evaluate learners from both the Senior and Junior Phase
throughout the year. An exam is written in the 2nd and 4th
term in the senior phase. We emphasize the acquisition of skills
and strive to present a holistic view of each child’s academic
performance.
Progress reports are given out every term in the Junior and
Senior Primary Phase. These reports are followed by parent
evenings during which you are able to discuss your child’s
progress with his /her educator.
At Veldenvlei Primary School we strive towards the developing
of the child as a whole and not just as an academic learner. We
strive towards a school as part of a system that consists of
educational partnerships and networks. Our aim is to prepare
the learner in such a way that he / she will be an asset to society
and the environment.

- VOORSKOOL-
- PRE-SCHOOL -
WE STRIVE TO ACCOMODATE THE NEEDS OF EVERY CHILD
ONS STREEF OM IN ELKE KIND SE BEHOEFTES TE VOORSIEN
The language teaching is based on a variety of themes which in
turn incorporate the teaching of concepts and skills pertaining
to holistic pre-school development.
In addition to an “informal” learning approach in the very early
stages, the programme includes music, drama, singing, poetry,
art, craft and channelled “learning through play” mediums.
Promotion into the main stream of a schooling system is
dependent upon a child’s language ability, academic
achievement, age and maturity. It is possible for a child to
spend more than one year in this class to attain an acceptable
level of “school-readiness”, provided the child’s chronological
age does not exceed the limits for entrance into the main
stream.
- REKENAARSENTRUM -
