Garden of Rememberance
Garden of Rememberance 150 150 schoolman

As many of you may be aware, Aston Manor Primary School established a Garden of Remembrance in 2016 (which was introduced by the previous headmaster, Mr L.J. Steenkamp).

This is Aston Manor’s way of honouring pupils, staff members and parents (who have rendered several years of service to the school) and governing body members who have passed away.

This sadly does require the updating of information with regards to anyone who may have passed away. If you have any information regarding this, please contact the school – general@amps.za.com or office@amps.za.com.

Saving the Rhino project

Rhinos are killed in South Africa at an alarming rate and the Aston Manor community is encouraged to make a difference. Learners can enter a competition where they draw a picture of a rhino or write a short story about a rhino. Attached to the art work or story the learners have to place an envelope with R30-00 as an entry fee. Learners are reminded to write their name, surname and grade on the artwork / story and envelope and post their entry in the post box that is situated in the front office of the school.

  • The competition end date is 19 July 2018. Winners will be announced on 22 July 2018.
  • Monies raised will be donated to the Pilanesberg Wildlife Trust and used to combat the poaching of rhinos.

Mr Steenkamp’s Farewell – 27 May 2017
Mr Steenkamp’s Farewell – 27 May 2017 850 567 schoolman

We are reaching the time at AMPS where our Principal, Mr. Steenkamp, will be (very sadly) retiring at the end of May

Mr Steenkamp has been a teacher, a coach, a deputy and a principal for 36 years at AMPS and in education for 40 years.

We will be having a big send off for the “legend” on the 27th of May 2017. More details will follow shortly within the week.

We hope you will mark this day in your calendar and tell everyone who knows Mr Steenkamp to come and say farewell on the 27th of May. He has done more for AMPS than anyone else at the school, thankfully we still have his expertise until the end of May

For further news and posts down the line, especially regarding the day, you can view our facebook page (you do not need to be on facebook to see the page, anyone can view it)

School Renovations
School Renovations 150 150 schoolman

The Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) has begun patch work in areas of the school. This is extremely disruptive to staff as we attempt to complete all teaching and assessments among the many other jobs. We sincerely ask that parents help ensure that their children are completing homework and assignments when they are required to do so.

The ground staff have been busy ensuring the grounds are kept clean and safe and Mr Steenkamp is working hard to make sure the school is in top condition. The Heads of Department are working tirelessly to ensure a high standard of work. Unfortunately the school is not directly in charge of the renovations which is being administered and run by the Gauteng Department of Education. We are reliant on them to finish this small section of work they are busy with. Further Renovations are planned for the school in the next 1-2 years.

Please respect any areas which are out of bounds and taped off, children are not allowed to be in these areas for their own safety.

Despite the disruptions we are grateful for the future development of AMPS and the supportive parents of our community!

If your children are required to bring a pillow or blanket to school (should they be in different classrooms) children must not lose anything. Learners at times forget their items of clothing such as gloves, scarves, beanies etc during this winter period.
