I'm an uncle to 2 Kids 7-year-old boy and his sister a 10-year-old girl that goes to this school. here is my store and horrifying experience with the principal Mr., Louw at this school.
But first a bit of a back story to what ultimately lead me to wright this review and my discuss with Mr. Louw.
I have a younger sister and her husband with 2 kids going to this school. They have been staying in my cottage for the past 10 years free of charge as both the parents has got learning disabilities earning a SASSA grand and doing odd jobs to put food on their table so at the end of the month, they would have at least R3500. I take of my hat to this parent at least they don't just sit back and waste away in depression and drugs like others in their situation
So, my partner and I took it Apone ourselves to look after the kid's school fees, registration fees and requirements in the form of books and uniforms as when they started in grade RR as we know education is key to their future.
At the end of 2023 my partner and I could not assist with both the school fees and the kids school requirements in the form of uniforms and extra. as we were gained more responsibilities on us too fostering a 15 year old boy that is in need so, we had a discussion with my sister and her husband that we can only assist with the school requirements in the form of uniforms and extra and that we will have to have a discussion with the school to get the kids a study grant as i did my resurge into government school grands and that they do qualify for it.
Now this is where the Horror started with us having a meeting with Mr. Louw and his sidekick trying to explain to them the situation. We were treated and spoke to like we were undeserving of his time and told if I don't pay the registration fees that we must remove the 2 kids from his school as will not be welcome anymore. So, my partner and I Had to Take from our hard-earned saving too pay the registration fees My sister was also told that she can apply for the study grand but before even apply was told that she will not get a 100% grand and that she will have to pay an amount any way.
For the whole year of 2024 the parents of this kids had to take money meant for food and/or clothing to pay for school fees.
Just to find out at the end of the year that there was quite a bit of other less privilege parents that got 100% grants. this heeds the question. why them and not my sister. it seems like favoritism is flourishing in this school. as the saying goes a Fish starts rotting from it head.
It's now 2025 and not me and my partner will not be able to assist ones more so let's c if he will kick the kids out of his school as he threatened to at the end 0f 2023.
Mr. Louw if you do get to read this. may I suggest learning some humility and knowledge into how to speak to people as we are all human no matter our financial status.
