Vaalwater Primary School is located in Vaalwater. The very first school building was next to the current Vaalwater Hotel and opened in 1953. It was a three-man school with Mr. SSB Hoffman as the chief and his wife. Aunt Katy and Aunt Chrissie van Heerden as the other two staff members.

Uncle Nic Runtgen was the driver of the very first school bus that transported all the learners to and from the school. On June 11, 1960, the new school buildings we are currently using will be put into service. The cornerstone of the new school is laid by Mr. SGJ van Niekerk who was a member of the Executive Committee.

After Mr. Hoffman's retirement becomes Mr. SJM Swanepoel the principal. After his retirement, Mr. PBE van der Westhuizen (Mr Pieter) the principal. After the farm has taken Mr Pieter away from the school, Mr. Daan Labuschagne appointed chief. From 2006 to June 2008, Ms. Petro Raubenheimer dismissed as Acting Head, after which Mr. Willen Nezar is appointed head of Vaalwater Primary School.

Mr. Nezar passed away on December 17, 2012. Me. Martie Steyl retires until August 2014 as Acting Head. Mr. LH Vorster becomes head on September 1, 2014 and is up to date full steam ahead. The school song was written by Oom Hoffie (Mr Hofman). We still sing the same school song today.

Our school badge was also provided by Mr. Hoffman designed and based on the words of our school song (where blue sky radiates the plane with sunshine .....) Our motto "I CAN" encourages every Valie to take anything with courage and courage, because they know - I CAN.
