SENIOR PRIMARY SCHOOL

Message from Headmaster

The Senior Primary School at Thomas More College provides a welcoming and nurturing environment for every child. From Pre-Primary through the Junior and Senior Primary Phases into High School, we aim to help the children reach their full potential. Our dedicated and experienced educators recognise the value and uniqueness of each child and treat them with respect while delivering a well-rounded education.

Guided by our Christian values, we instil a strong moral foundation. Combined with our excellent facilities, superb resources, and environmentally conscious campus, our school becomes an ideal setting for a child’s formative years, where they acquire essential life and interpersonal skills.

Our enrichment and support programs, along with the development of creative and critical thinking skills, prepare each student for the future. We strive to create a dynamic and enjoyable learning environment where children have fun and feel free to explore.

As you peruse this website, which provides a glimpse into the rich tapestry of our school life, we hope you will partner with us in your child’s education.

About Senior Primary

At Thomas More College, we recognize and embrace the unique characteristics of each child by fostering a passion for life and learning. Our educational approach emphasises complex

problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and emotional intelligence. Each grade engages in differentiated learning tailored to individual needs, providing support and extension where necessary. Specialised teaching in isiZulu, Afrikaans, Technology, Art, Music, and Drama enriches our curriculum.

We conduct national benchmarking assessments, IEB Core Skills evaluations in Grade 6, and International Benchmarking Tests. However, examinations are only held in Languages and Mathematics in Grade 7.

Our comprehensive Life Orientation (LO) Programme offers numerous opportunities for leadership and mentorship through various activities. At TMC, we shape Tomorrow’s Leaders Today by developing leadership skills that empower students to navigate challenges, inspire others, and contribute positively to their communities. This program fosters confidence, resilience, effective communication, problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and a sense of responsibility, preparing our children for future roles and societal growth.
