Star Teacher – Farewell Mister de Villiers

It is with great sadness that we have to say goodbye to an extraordinary teacher this month. Mister Pierre De Villiers has made a major impact in the lives of his learners and colleagues from the very first moment he arrived at Alta du Toit School in 2020. He is known for his optimistic, creative and caring nature and will leave a big hole in our hearts. He also made groundbreaking changes in our school by writing our value song and revising our school anthem. We would like to thank you for your excellent service, and we wish you well for the future ahead. Mister De Villiers is embarking on an exciting journey to Dubai where he will be teaching Grade 5 learners at Nibras International School.

Student-Centered Learning

“If a child cant learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn”. These words by Ignacio Estrada inform how Alta du Toit School supports our students.
