Van Riebeeckpark is a school with a heart, and the people who form part of the school, is the heartbeat!
Even though so many things are changing in society and education, we don’t stand back for any challenges. Our achievements and results show that, with pride, we continue to ensure relevant and good education. With our enthusiastic, dedicated and well-trained staff component, learners are guided and shown the way to prepare them for life.
At the Riebies, every child can develop and perform to the best of their own abilities. We know that a school can only function truly happy and optimally, if the parents are part of this recipe for success, therefore the positive partnership between the school and the parent is of utmost importance to us.
Sound values are a priority for our school, because it affects a child’s future. That is why our values of: respect, honesty, commitment, inclusivity, unanimity, choices and gratitude are something we proudly live out and present to our learners. These values encourage every learner to always believe in themselves and to strive for better. All these goals can only be successful if all the role players: child, parent and teacher, join hands and tackle it together.
Here we can still dream, laugh, cry… and enjoy growing up.
“Shoulder to the wheel” we will always move forward.

Each learner has his own strengths and weaknesses, and we have the tools to help.
With the hectic life of today, we are here to reassure parents that their children are cared for.
The road to success begins early and our Grade R learners are given that boost.
We remind our Riebie parents that the Riebie Klanke, hard copy, are only given to learners where parents do not have internet access. Thanks to the cooperation of our parents, we now only publish 150 Riebie Sounds in hard copy every week.
Through this website we endeavour to reduce the use of paper and to get information as quickly as possible to you, the parent. We trust that the experience will be great for you and your children and that you will benefit greatly from using our website. We look forward to keeping you and your family informed of our newsletters and newsflashes.

Message from the Governing Body
Welcome to Van Riebeeckpark Primary School, the home of the Riebies. It is truly a privilege to be part of a school that serves the community in such a warm, friendly, and supportive way. It is imperative for the School Governing Body that the facilities of the school are maintained and developed continuously, to create a safe environment that will give rise to growth and success. In doing so, we ensure the best atmosphere for Education and Teaching.
At the Riebies it is a top priority to develop every child to his/her full potential. With well qualified educators, devoted support staff, a competent management team, and a skilled Governing Body, the school have the perfect “ingredients” to successfully achieve this vision in a purposeful, disciplined manner.
Our school is blessed with a parent community who are involved and positive, as well as educators who deliver high quality teaching in the classrooms and who are also skilled sports and culture coaches. Year after year, our learners excel in the academics, sports, and cultural fields due to this communal dedication.
The Riebies have facilities that very few public schools in South Africa have, and I believe we are the only primary school in the district that can boast with interactive boards in every classroom from Grade R to Grade 7, a solar panel system that eliminates load shedding and power outages, lockers for all Intersen Phase learners (Grade 4 – Grade 7), as well as fantastic sports facilities.
Thank you to all parents who devote their valuable time to their children and to the Riebies, who pay their school fees, and deliver constructive, positive inputs. Without a parent community who invests in their children’s education, the school would not have been able to function and perform on this high level.
