About Us

Creating A Fun
Learning Experience

At Linkside Pre-Primary or LPP, as it is fondly known, our boys come first.  We are firm, but kind and feel that we have succeeded if the boys are happy, they try their best, and are liked by the other boys.

Our FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the school fees?

Presently they are R2856,00 per month over 11 months. If you would like to pay for the year in advance, you qualify for an 8% discount provided the amount is paid by 31 January. All stationery, toiletries, outings and screenings are included in the fees.

Do you need to attend both years?

The uniqueness of Linkside Pre-Primary is that we offer the two years – namely Gr 00 (4 years old turning 5 within the year) and Gr R (5 years old turning 6 within the year). The boys benefit from the foundation of the Gr 00 year and are well-prepared for their Gr R year.

Are you the feeder for Grey Junior?

We are not the official feeder school for Grey Junior. There is no guarantee that because your son attends Linkside Pre-Primary that he will get into Grey Junior. However, most of our boys do go on to attend Grey Junior and the transition is very smooth for the boys.

  • 4 year Higher Diploma in Pre-Primary Education at Barkly House Teachers College, Cape Town
  • 1984 -1997 – Head of Pre-Primary at Sydenham Primary
  • 1997 – present – Principal and teacher at Linkside Pre-Primary
  • I am very privileged to be doing what I love. I am passionate about Linkside Pre-Primary and take my work in the classroom very seriously. 
  • My aim for the boys is that they are happy, they try their best and they are liked by the other boys.
  • My goal is to instill confidence in the boys so that they can answer or question without feeling nervous, embarrassed or afraid. We follow a no-stress policy in my class – rather a ‘let’s make a plan’ policy.  Every boy is important to me and I look for the shy boy to give him the courage to speak up. 
  • I also want to instill in the boys a love for learning and finding out things.
  • Our everyday goal is to always have FUN while we are learning!
