Kensington Laerskool

Kensington Laerskool functions as more than a school building in its neighbourhood — it anchors community life for families in its catchment area, provides employment for educators and support staff, and creates the social fabric where children make formative friendships. The school's role extends beyond classrooms: it hosts sports days where extended families gather, runs fundraising events that draw the community, coordinates with local parents to address neighbourhood concerns, and often becomes the institution parents trust with their children's daily wellbeing and development. For many families, the school represents continuity and belonging in a city where transience is common. That institutional presence — whether through active parent forums, visible leadership in the community, or simply being the place where neighbours' children learn together — gives the school a role that transcends education.
