Eisteddfod
Learners have the opportunity to participate in the Helderberg Eisteddfod in the following categories: Drama, music and art. Hendrik Louw Primary School learners regularly receive medals and are recognized as the best in their respective categories.
Debating
Learners learn to write and deliver a reasoned speech. The love for language is promoted. Beginner debaters have the opportunity to enter internal competitions within the school. More advanced learners also participate in competitions outside the school, such as the Raakvatters, ATKV- Stellenbosch Primary School competition as well as the Interschool competition.
Music
The ultimate goal of Hendrik Louw's music department is to make music with friends and thereby enjoy it more. We believe in providing as many learners as possible with the opportunity to participate in music activities. This is made possible through music lessons at the music school, the bands/ensemble, junior and senior choirs, as well as the revue.
Music School
Instruction is offered in the following instruments: marimba, piano, keyboard, drums, violin, recorder, guitar, ukulele, and singing. Theory lessons are also offered. The outstanding achievements of our learners during Eisteddfods and external music exams are proof of our high standard. Even the youngest and most inexperienced learners are encouraged to participate in our concerts, which take place at least once a year. Lessons are given during school hours.
