Springvale Primary School Pre-School is located in Pretoria. Springvale Primary School admitted its first pupils in Grades I and II only, in 1981. In 1982, pupils from Standards 1 – 5 were admitted. In the same year, the school’s first permanent Principal, Miss Maria Werner, was appointed.

Today the school is served by a capable and dedicated staff of teachers of whom we are justifiably proud off. An increasingly sophisticated range of teaching aids have been made available to teachers for the benefit of our pupils.

The year 1983 was another eventful year for Springvale. On 30 March, the official opening took place when the then

Administrator of the Transvaal, the Honourable Mr W.A. Cruywagen, unveiled a plaque commemorating its establishment.

Our coat of arms was also registered.

At Springvale Primary School we believe that education is vital to a child’s growth. We believe that a child learns more than his set lessons, however, and that the ideals learnt in Primary School will be of lasting value in his or her life.

The child learns also to relate to his or her fellow pupils; to respect authority; and to become a future good citizen of our country.

These beliefs are expressed in the words of our Credo.
