For 90,9% of the Rhenish children to achieve between 80 and 100% for Literacy is very commendable. I feel this is even more noteworthy, when one considers that the children who were in the Special Needs class were also included in the survey. In addition, a large number of children who attend Rhenish do not have English as their home language!
Last year the WCED named Rhenish Primary School as the “top mathematics school over the past six years in Grade six”.
It is thus with much pride that I can once again report that Rhenish Primary School excelled in these assessments. These results have been due mainly to our dedicated and talented teachers. A big thank you to them all. They have all once again made us proud of the achievements of Rhenish.
