Dear Curro family
December 2018
What a year it’s been! Our schools enjoyed sterling achievements across academic, cultural
and sporting disciplines, we enjoyed the unswerving support of parents and siblings, Curro
turned 20 years old, but we also had quiet times and sad times. We also celebrate the
many wonderful learning experiences that have taken place across numerous classrooms,
in very creative and innovative ways, and the importance of relationships across generations
among teachers and learners. At Curro, we firmly believe that a great education involves
us continuously working to improve learning for every child so that they embrace it for the
rest of their lives.
The sculptor Michelangelo said, ‘Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task
of the sculptor to discover it.’ When asked about his inspiration for the statue of an angel,
he said: ‘I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.’ Our task at Curro is
to ‘see’ each child placed in our schools, and to nurture them in our unique way, so that
they realise their full potential.
Summer is a special time for all of us and provides many happy family memories. I hope
that you and your children enjoy many opportunities to have fun in the weeks ahead.
We shall sadly be saying farewell to some families and balancing that with a warm welcome
to the new families joining us. We wish you a wonderful and safe holiday and look forward
to seeing you all in 2019.
Kind regards
Andries Greyling
CEO: Curro Holdings
