Panorama Primary

Panorama Primary School opened its doors in the suburb of Welgelegen on 1 January 1980 with a total of 380 learners. The first principal was Mr Alwyn Christensen.

Today, it boasts a total of more or less 1320 learners in the main stream, with an additional, more or less, 180 learners in Grade R, giving us a total of +1 500 learners.

The current principal is Mr Carl Zimmermann who is supported by a staff complement of 46 educators in Grades 1 to 7 and 6 educators in Grade R.  Each grade from 1 to 7 has at least 1  assistant teacher, as well as 3 assistants in Grade R.

The school is based on a Christian ethos, although we are a multi-cultural school. The school is parallel-medium and represents a diversity of races, cultures and religions. We accomodate and respect all other religions and cultures.
                                                                           
The school has two IT centres, a library, art classroom, technology room and a tuck shop.  We have a well-equipped after-care centre, where we accommodate about 250 learners under the good supervision of 8 staff members.

Our Remedial department (EST) consists of 1 permanent and 2 private remedial teachers, one occupational therapist, one hearing and speech therapist and 16 teachers, who are responsible for didactic aid.

In 2005, a cultural centre was built and music tuition is offered by two permanent staff members and five semi-private / private music teachers.

In 2009, a safety fence was erected around the entire premises of the school and a safety officer controls entrance to the grounds, at the main gate.

The school also offers a wide variety of sport codes and extra-mural activities free of charge. Professional coaching is offered in different sport codes (privately as well). We are proud of our excellent facilities. We are one of the most well-equipped schools in the Western Cape, with a reputation for high standards.
