Marvin Park Primary School is on Base Street, Macassar, City of Cape Town, in the Western Cape. Contact runs through the Western Cape Education Department on 0861 819 919 and its district office.

Macassar, not Somerset West or Khayelitsha
Macassar sits between Somerset West and Khayelitsha on the False Bay coast, and listings attach schools there to all three. Give Macassar and Base Street, because the surrounding areas fall under different arrangements and a records request routed by the wrong suburb comes back unanswered.

Moving a child between provinces
Macassar has a substantial population that moves between the Western and Eastern Cape, and a mid year transfer is one of the more common reasons to contact a primary school. The process is straightforward if you have the right paper.
- Ask the previous school for a transfer card and the latest report. That is what the receiving school needs in order to place the child in the right grade.
- A transfer may not be withheld over unpaid fees. If a school refuses to release the documents for that reason, it is a district matter.
- A child may not be kept out of school while paperwork is chased. Report to the district if a placement is being delayed.
- Immunisation records travel with the child, so collect those too rather than restarting the schedule.
