From our principal’s pen….

It is a big honour to welcome you to Alie-land!

Aliwal North Primary School is a multi-cultural, mixed school that provides in the needs of both English and Afrikaans learners from all over the North Eastern Cape.  This leading school has 560 learners, ranging from Grade R to Grade 7.

It is a value-driven school where we focus on teaching the following values: care, honesty, responsibility, respect, consideration, fairness, friendliness and citizenship.  We strive to educate the total child; we therefore try to take care of all levels involving the child: spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social, physical and cultural.

Academics form the core of our school day and I am proud to say that in this school every pupil is encouraged to reach their full potential. Excellent results are achieved. Sport and cultural activities do not fall far behind:  rugby, netball, hockey, tennis, athletics and cricket are very popular. Cultural activities include chess, land service and an orator’s club.  Eistedd@Alies is one of the highlights on the cultural calendar for many of our surrounding schools.
