Brebner can be considered as an institution where learners strive to learn, to play, to receive and to give.
Learners are taught to accept authority and discipline through positive reinforcement which leads to self-discipline, independence and a feeling of self-worth and achievement.
Brebner Primary School is not only about acquiring knowledge but also about the manner in which this holistic and life-long education is nurtured.

Brebner depends on the loyalty of all its Brebnerian stakeholders.

The Brebnerian family and its traditions build the ethos of this school and unites those who love it.

HEADMASTER’S LETTER 2012/6

Dear Parents

Our theme for 2012 “Don’t look for the miracle, be the miracle” is still very applicable but unfortunately we still have too many stakeholders who feel miracles must be performed by others.

Stakeholders must accept responsibility for the performance of our learners.

We are grateful that the vast majority of parents and learners are keeping to our theme but we do have elements who expect the school to “perform the miracle”.

If you have not collected your child’s report for last term, attended meetings and regularly checked your child’s work books we suggest you contact the register class teacher so that you can discuss your child’s academic future (urgently) and become that miracle.
