Laerskool
Silverton Primary School

We have being providing quality primary education in Pretoria for over 100 years and still going strong.

“How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver” - Book of Proverbs 16:16 “Get wisdom – it’s worth more than money” Meaning: From Biblical times during the reign of King Solomon, it was believed that happiness could not be found through money (gold and silver), but rather through knowledge. Our motto is derived from Proverbs 16:16. This interpretation was compiled by Ms. Pattie Booyse.

Our Vision -

Each one his best for a bright future.

On the plains between the hills.
South of the Magaliesberg.
Stands the school which we are proud of,
where we always do our best.

Waardevol is goud en silwer.
Dit is seker en gewis.
Al’s oortreffend nog is kennis,
wat dan ook ons leuse is.

Hard werk, strewe om te handhaaf.
Hierdie hoë ideaal.
Faal ons, ons begin van vooraf,
eendag haal ons wel die paal.

We will climb the highest mountain,
as our knowledge will increase.
Precious is all gold and silver,
let us strive for Victory
