About MONTROSE PRIMARY SCHOOL

HISTORY OF MONTROSE

In 1910, a request was made by local farmers and residents to the School Board asking that a school be established in the central Sandton area.
The nearest schools at the time were in Rosebank and Fontainebleau which meant long traveling distances. Eventually, a small school building was built off 11th Avenue, Parkmore.
On the 5th January 1970, Parkmore Primary opened its doors with Mr G.E. Scheepers as acting principal and 5 staff members. Only 189 pupils were enrolled.
At the time there was only a school hall, library, arts and crafts room, administration block and eighteen classrooms.
More than 50 years on, Montrose has transformed from a small struggling school to one of the most respected and sought-after primary schools which rivals even the best of the best in the private sector, with Mrs van Loggerenberg, the School Principal at the helm leading the school into the future.

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.

You are not alone! Hundreds of schools are presently asking precisely the same questions about SolarPV and this Platform has been developed to encourage you to share your preoccupations. We would love to hear from you!
