School Life | De Kroon Primary School

Where Memories Are Made

From morning assembly songs to muddy soccer wins, life at De Kroon is full and fun. Here are some of the moments our learners cherish.

Five colour houses go head-to-head every March in athletics, relays and team spirit.

Traditional outfits, Setswana folktales and a community potjie cook-off.

Chess, coding, drama and the school choir keep afternoons busy and bright.

Grade 7s mentor Grade 1s in reading every Friday under the big jacaranda tree.

Our end-of-year concert showcases dance, drama and the beloved marimba band.

Spinach, carrots and tomatoes — grown by learners, eaten at the nutrition meal.

Mark these dates in your family diary — you will not want to miss them.

What our learners and parents say about school life.

"I love Reading Buddies. Helping the little ones makes me feel proud and patient."

"My son walked into Grade R nervous and walked out a confident young leader. De Kroon raised him."

"Sports day is the best day of the year — even better than my birthday. Go Yellow House!"
