NEW SCHOOLS IN RUSTENBURG

Royal Bafokeng Platinum (RBPlat), in partnership with the North West Department of Education (NWDoE), has opened the newly built primary and secondary schools at Waterkloof Hills Estate in Rustenburg, after entering into an agreement on an equal financial contribution basis in 2019. The two schools, provisionally named Waterkloof Hills Primary School and Waterkloof Hills Secondary School, are conveniently located within the Waterkloof Hills Estate, RBPlat’s flagship housing development for its employees.

The schools commenced operations at the beginning of the year, with the primary school catering for grades R to 4, and currently having 470 learners enrolled, and the secondary school catering for grades 8 and 9, with an enrolment of 375 learners. Plans are in place for additional grades to be phased in over the next few years.

The schools are wheelchair-friendly and are equipped with state-of-the-art resources including interactive boards with projectors, laptops for teachers, soccer fields, multi-purpose courts, science laboratories, libraries, computer rooms, sick rooms, eating halls and ample parking. Whilst RBPlat was responsible for the construction of the schools, they will be administered by the NWDoE, as per the relevant legislative protocols.
