Excellence of a Catholic School

Nkosiyethu Primary School was founded in February 1927 by the Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing as Christ the King Primary School under the Roman Catholic Church. African Benedictine Sisters, better known as the Twasana Sisters came to Nongoma in 1940 to assist the Tutzing Sisters in teaching the children of Christ the King Primary. In April 1977, the school was taken over by the KwaZulu Government.

Latest scoop from the school

Short Brief of how our dedicated soccer player got selected.

He played in a tournament that was at Layukona primary school for under 13s. There was a coach from Nongoma Young Leaders who works with the Mandeni team, Young Leaders. He selected him on that day to play for their team. Then there was a Boys to Men tournament that was going to be in Durban from the 29th to the 3rd of July. Their team joined and became part of the tournament. While they were playing there with players from Mandeni, they arrived in Durban. The tournament had 48 teams. They played the group stages and won, finishing number 1. Bandile scored a goal and had 4 assists in that tournament. That’s where he was selected by KZN Future Stars Soccer Academy. When the tournament ended on the 4th of July, he went to trials at KZN Future Stars Academy and they officially selected him.

Testimonial

What Parents Say!

Heartfelt message from one of our longest client "Parent"

Why I Recommend Nkosiyethu Primary School Education is the foundation of every child’s future, and choosing the right primary school is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. For me, Nkosiyethu Primary School is one of the best schools in Nongoma, and I highly recommend it to every parent.

Nkosiyethu Primary School is a Christian school that promotes strong moral values, respect, honesty, and kindness. The school creates a safe and caring environment where learners are encouraged to grow academically, spiritually, and socially.

One of the greatest strengths of the school is its outstanding discipline. The learners are respectful, well-mannered, and committed to their studies. Good discipline creates a positive learning environment where teachers can teach effectively and learners can achieve their full potential.

The school also has an excellent academic record. Year after year, many learners perform exceptionally well and pass with distinctions. I am especially impressed by the school’s commitment to teaching English. A strong foundation in English during primary school gives children the confidence to communicate effectively and prepares them for success in high school, university, and their future careers.

I would also like to commend Mr. Sibisi, the principal, for his exceptional leadership. In my opinion, he is one of the best primary school principals in Nongoma. His dedication, vision, and commitment to excellence have helped build a school that parents can trust and be proud of. His leadership inspires both teachers and learners to strive for success.

As a parent, I confidently recommend Nkosiyethu Primary School to every family. Primary education is the most important stage in a child’s learning journey because it lays the foundation for future success. A child who receives quality education, good discipline, and strong values at primary school has a greater chance of becoming a responsible, successful, and confident adult.

I sincerely thank Mr. Sibisi, the teachers, and the entire staff of Nkosiyethu Primary School for their hard work and dedication. May the school continue to produce disciplined, knowledgeable, and successful learners for many years to come.
