Welcome and thank you for visiting the HMS website.

Responsive devicesHere in the heart of the Highveld lies a school with a motto

“Be the difference!”
We are so easily taken in with all the negativity surrounding us. Stand tall, keep your head held high and Be the Difference! Let us as children, staff and parents spread a positive attitude within the community.

To teach is to touch a life forever!
This means that every child is given the opportunity to develop in totality.
Values, academics, sport, culture, tradition and discipline are an integral part of our daily tasks. You as a parent expect us to cherish, educate and prepare your most precious possession (your child) for life. As staff, we realize how important our profession is.

"If we teach TODAY as we taught YESTERDAY, we rob our children of TOMORROW".

We pride ourselves on our ACADEMICS. With a team of highly dedicated, enthusiastic and qualified staff, we ensure that your child gets only the best. Interactive boards with 24 hour internet connection in the classroom, ensures that our learners receive the best education.

Furthermore, we believe that neat grounds, clean bathrooms, colourful classrooms and neat school uniforms will lead our children to be PROUD.

School is my passion! Come and be part of our family!

Come and visit us and enjoy a delicious cup of café noir with us.

HM Swart greetings
