Two schools, one small suburb
Retreat is compact and carries several schools within walking distance of each other, including a high school on Joe Marks Boulevard. Square Hill Primary is the primary school, on Morris Way, and the suburb name Square Hill is used both for the area and in the school’s name.
Give Morris Way when you contact the district, because “Square Hill” alone reads as a place rather than an institution.
Nearly a thousand learners in a primary school
The school carries close to a thousand learners with roughly thirty four educators. That ratio is what you are planning around, both for admissions competition and for how reachable the office is during teaching hours.
- Apply in the Western Cape admission window, well ahead of the year concerned, and apply to more than one school.
- Have documents certified early: the child’s birth certificate, proof of address and immunisation record are what usually delay a primary application.
- Grade R and Grade 1 can be separate admissions. A place in Grade R does not always carry into Grade 1, so confirm rather than assume.
- An unplaced learner is the district’s responsibility, and Metro South is the office that must act.
- Go in person for admissions. At a school this size a queue moves faster than a telephone nobody is free to answer.
