Welkom by Hermitage House Skool, 'n gemeenskap waar leer 'n avontuur is en elke kind se reis uniek gevier word.
By Hermitage House glo ons in die krag van gemeenskap. Ons skool is meer as net 'n plek van leer; dit is 'n familie waar elke lid 'n belangrike rol speel. Die ondersteuning en samewerking tussen studente, ouers, onderwysers en die breër gemeenskap skep 'n koesterende omgewing wat groei en sukses bevorder.
Welcome to Hermitage House School, a community where learning is an adventure, and each child's journey is uniquely celebrated.
At Hermitage House, we believe in the power of community. Our school is more than just a place of learning; it's a family where every member plays a vital role. The support and collaboration among students, parents, teachers, and the wider community create a nurturing environment that fosters growth and success.
Nestled in a beautiful valley, our school setting offers unique opportunities for exploration and connection with nature. The surrounding environment is not just a backdrop but an extension of our classrooms. Enjoy keeping up to date with everything we are busy with.
It is wonderful to welcome everyone back from the holiday break! I must admit, even for me, the holiday started feeling a bit long toward the end. During our opening assembly, Mrs. Viviers made a confession that resonated with all of us, as teachers, we eventually end up missing the children and feel a bit empty without them around. We are so glad to be back and are truly excited for a very busy term ahead.
As we reach the midpoint of this busy term, I want to reflect on the incredible spirit of community that defines our school. It has been a fast-paced few weeks, filled with unpredictable challenges, but through it all, our learners, staff, and families have shown what it truly means to pull together. We were incredibly fortunate to share the unique story, values, and future vision of Hermitage House with a wider audience recently. I would like to extend a massive thank you to Gareth Burley from Kingfisher FM for generously organising the airtime and hosting the interview. We deeply appreciate his support for our school and our valley community.
As the sun sets on this final week of the term, I find myself reflecting on the profound and bittersweet moment we find ourselves in as we say a heartfelt farewell to Elim Farm. This campus has been the backdrop for so many cherished memories, filled with the laughter and growth of our children, but as our Chairman so aptly reminded us, we are currently planting trees under whose shade we may never sit.
"Sitting under a zinc roof, listening to the rain beating down... it’s God’s music." There is a particular rhythm to life at Hermitage House when the clouds settle over our valley. As I sit here writing this, the steady drumming above reminds me of how fortunate we are. We are deeply thankful for the rain that sustains our grounds and our community, and we remain truly blessed to have a roof over our heads—a simple, sturdy shelter that allows us to appreciate the storm from a place of safety, something not all communities are fortunate to have.
