The icy wind and clouds overhead did nothing to dampen the spirits of the community members, learners, parents and teachers who attended Laerskool Oosterkruin Primary\u2019s fun-filled 25th birthday opskop.<\/p>\n
Silly string and laughter floated in the air, last Saturday, as young and old took in the sights, sounds, fun and activities at the festival.<\/p>
The event aimed to celebrate and highlight the school\u2019s 25 years in the community.<\/p>\n
Oosterkruin was opened in 1993 by Maria van Riebeeck, AJ Koen and Johan Greybe and has grown from strength to strength over the years.<\/p>
In 2000, the school opened its own Grade R school, Osieland, and in 2016 established their first English Grade One class and changed their name.<\/p>\n
Andr\u00e9 du Plessis was the headmaster of the school until 1998 when Chris Kruger was appointed and he has been in charge of the very successful school ever since.<\/p>\n
Oosterkruin\u2019s main focus over the years has remained the same, to offer learners a well-balanced teaching environment that incorporates academics, sport and culture.<\/p>\n
The school\u2019s values, disciplinary and religious principles have remained unchanged over its 25-year existence.<\/p>\n
