About BRYANDALE PRIMARY SCHOOL

Bryandale Primary School – Where All Children Have the Potential to Become Winners

Integrating a love of nature with modern, top class learning facilities, the Bryandale Primary School campus in Bryanston has been home to holistic education of children since 1973.
Bryandale Primary School has a long-standing tradition and pride in a learner-centred programme that aims at the comprehensive education of all learners. Parents and teachers work together at school and at home to instil core values, and the school offers a base of clear communication and support. The dedicated and passionate staff work together as a dynamic team; and on-going professional development is imperative in their endeavour to properly prepare learners to function independently in a twenty-first century world.
Learning takes place in a highly-stimulating environment. It is through many of these resources that fundamental learning skills are developed and a lifelong love of learning is created. The atmosphere is caring and structured, and being a part of the Bryandale family becomes a lifelong bond. Diversity is celebrated and the school operates within a Christian ethos intent on upholding the respect of each individual within the school community.
It is against this backdrop that the school strives for academic excellence. Bryandale Primary School equips learners with higher-order thinking skills, through innovative and creative learning and collaborative interaction, resulting in critical thinkers who can hold their own in the face of any requirements. The school teaches that life is full of choices, and that each choice defines who they are and what course their lives will take. Furthermore, they are endowed with a firm sense of commitment, and this is expected in the classroom and on the sports field.
Well-resourced classrooms are surrounded by attractive gardens, where trees are labelled and bird identification posters are on hand to encourage children to appreciate nature. Gardens are constantly upgraded to incorporate indigenous water-wise plants, giving learners a keen sense of environmental awareness. The Bryandale Knowledge Base is an area of many happy hours for the children at the school. It includes an indoor and outdoor auditorium, computer lab, music room and labyrinth where learners go to stimulate creative thinking and problem-solving abilities. In addition to this, the Media Centre is a focal point within the school. It is a modern, well-resourced facility where learners can explore the different aspects of twenty-first century media literacy. Numeracy and Literacy are two of the main areas of focus within the school, and the technology offered is a widely-used resource to supplement traditional teaching methods and capture the attention of learners. It further enhances essential skills like creativity and innovation, critical thinking and problem-solving, and communication and collaboration.
Bryandale also has an on-site Learning Centre, where a multi-disciplinary team of therapists operate in their private capacity. These therapists liaise closely with teachers, issuing reports on progress of learners with whom they are working.
The academic facilities at the school are complemented by a playground, climbing wall and excellent sporting amenities. Active Education runs the sports programme, and there has been a marked increase in participation and development of the learners because of their integrated approach and well-trained staff. Learners participate in Cricket, Swimming, Tennis, Ball Skills for Grade 1 and 2, Soccer, Netball, Cross Country, Athletics and Hockey. Culturally, the learners participate in Chess, Computer Club, Marimbas, Public Speaking/Debating, Choir, Eisteddfod and Needlework.
Bryandale has partnerships with disadvantaged schools and has a “We Care” committee, whereby they look for opportunities to make a sustainable and meaningful contribution, teaching the children about social responsibility at the same time.
Holistic development is extended to encourage the children to take responsibility for their health. The tuck shop only stocks items approved by the school dietician, and every item is evaluated so that the children are eating for sustained energy, which improves behaviour and concentration throughout the day.

Solar PV Suppliers serving the education sector, finally have a place they can call home, where they can make direct contact with the schools looking to install a Solar PV System

Solar PV for Schools will take the legwork out of the daily activity of your salesforce, by introducing you to schools, ready and waiting to know all about you.

The fundamental and unique reason for this Solar PV for Schools Platform is to give Suppliers a place where they can explain in great detail, the experience of the company, the team involved, contact details, the projects already carried out, and much more.

We are making four essential areas available to Suppliers:

  • Overview: detailing an overview of your company
  • Profile: everything about your company is important to the decision makers.
  • Gallery: post all important photographs of solar installations the company has carried out.
  • Reviews: where your Clients are able to post reviews and recommendations.

The more information you post, the more chance you have in being noticed. And you are always able to share your profile page with other perspective Clients, who will be able to see the good things your other Clients are saying about you.

It is important to underline that this area of the Platform is probably the single most important place for suppliers…schools’ decision makers and SGB read in detail and will recommend to their AGM the reasons they will choose their specific supplier. It is therefore important for all suppliers to spend as much time as possible on this area of the Platform.

A Solar PV Manufacturers category will soon be launched, where Manufacturers of Solar Panels, Inverters, Batteries, Roof Mounting Systems, Cables, etc will be able to SignUp to Solar PV for Schools and introduce their products.

The aim is to make schools aware of the unique part of the value chain they are able to fulfil, including the very important guarantees and warranties and extended warranties offered by the manufacturers to suppliers and how the end-user Client (in this case schools) will benefit.

Availability in the South African market is also an important aspect that school will need to understand, in order to ensure continuity of supply over the 25-years life expectancy of the Solar PV System.

We will shortly be speaking to Manufacturers to develop this important part of the Solar PV for Schools Platform.
