Thank you to you for all that you have done and all that you have provided through Stirling over the years for our baby girl Catherine.  We are proud to have been part of this honourable school and will continue to hold the Stirling name high.  You are truly blessed in your abilities and have such a gift in your ability to run such a professional school – a school where children are happy to play and learn. Thank you for always being a listening ear and for the support of your awesome staff.  We will miss you all very much.

Taking Samuel to Stirling is the best thing I have ever done for my little boy and I will forever be grateful to you, Sharon and Lynette for the happiness that has been returned to him. And for the interactions of the rest of the staff who have also helped to make his every day one worth looking forward to. When he came to Stirling, the real Samuel’s fun personality had been eroded and his confidence had been undermined by the negative daily interaction he had with his previous teacher. He had gone from being a boy who skipped into school to a boy who behaved like a cat being taken to the vet. Getting him through the front door of the school was like putting a reluctant cat in a cat carrier! Impossible…. It was heartbreaking seeing him so miserable day and night.  Now that you all truly know what Samuel is like, you can imagine how difficult that was. His turn-about would not have happened without a fantastic, dedicated teacher. Sharon is one of those teachers who will be remembered by children when they are adults as a pivotal person in their lives. I know that Samuel, despite the work we are doing with him outside school, would not have done so well, had it not been for Sharon’s understanding and willingness to accept him and work with him. I know that it is not easy to have an ‘outlier’ in a class situation. She offered him daily love, respect and acceptance within solid boundaries. She helped to put him back together.  Getting his merit badge was a MASSIVE turning point for him and I think he finally realized he was accepted and safe. Thank you all for treating my son with respect and giving him back his confidence, and his ‘happy-skip’.

Our children are everything to us and it is very rarely we find people who treat them as the precious people we, their parents, feel they are. I cannot begin to explain to you the change in Thomas this year from where he came from. He is now a happy and confident child always eager to get to school. He has learnt so much from Teacher Sonya, to the point where he is starting to annoy his big sister because he knows more than her. The curriculum you offer from languages, science, mathematics etc has given him such a good foundation for his school years ahead. Having been through grades 00 and 0 with Michelle, I can say with confidence what you are teaching the children at Stirling is not being done by other schools in the area. I know I have said it during the year but I regret that Michelle did not attend Stirling. You have a winning recipe. Thank you for the weekly news letter keeping us up to date with happenings of the week and the friendly greetings and smiling faces that greeted us each day at Stirling. The fun day and concert were fabulous. Even up to the Carols evening, you have made the experience at Stirling far more than just a school but rather an adventure in growing up.

It has been such a pleasure to have been part of this journey for you. From the first time together at (your previous school), there was some kind of “connection” that I wanted my children and myself to be part of. The elation when I heard about Stirling was fantastic for me. I remember coming to meet with you to see where it was, and at that stage, it was just a shell, but I knew it was right for us. Never underestimate your wonderfully, positive spirit, which makes you the person that you are!  I am so sad that my children’s journey is over, but believe that ours is not – so please call when you need to and I will be there with an open heart (and arms). I know that Stirling will continue to thrive - it has to – it is the best pre-school in Joh’burg!

I just wanted to send a quick note to rave once again about Teacher Laura – the things she is doing for Ryan are remarkable. I think she is so talented and handles the kids so well. We just love her to bits and Ryan adores her! Ryan also just loves coming to school every day – I have to say again, I’ve yet to see a school quite like yours – the love and family feeling you give is remarkable, as well as the level of education. We’re realising how much we missed you!

Helen Blanckenberg
I just love our little school, and I told Karen I always feel so welcomed when I get there at lunchtime - part of your family and it makes my day!  All your staff are so happy and friendly (and extremely capable!) and I must specially add how much I think Laura has done for Ryan - he is such a different little boy this year! She is an amazing girl. I am so impressed with your ongoing training, Lorna, and think how much this is going to benefit Ryan in the years he is going to spend with you.

I just want you to know that in my humble opinion – You and your staff are doing the most unbelievable job of educating my child.  I just wish some other teaches – like those you find at other schools – would take a leaf out of your book in educating and attending to our children’s physical development as well as academic needs.  Bravo – I think you and your team do an amazing job and I am delighted my daughter and I are in your caring, committed clutches. Did I tell you – You could well be responsible for educating my daughter to Grade 12 – suggest you start growing your school.

Our daughter attended two other schools before being admitted to Stirling. We found that they were more baby sitting services, than educational facilities. That is why we moved her to Stirling. We could not be happier now that she is being well cared for and prepared for her future.

I think Stirling is a wonderful school and the teachers are all lovely. I took my eldest child out of his previous school and put him in Stirling for grade 00, his teacher Sonya was so loving and wonderful. She taught slightly older kids in his class. Jaeden picked up what she was teaching them and now is doing so well at Bryandale Pre Primary because of this. My youngest boy Kairan is in teacher Laura’s class and he loves school so much, he cries during school holidays because he cant go to school.

We can tell that you love children and are exceptionally professional in building and imparting the best education and development of pre-school. Keep up the good work!

Kim Brown
It is a home away from home. Our family all have such a wonderful time when at Stirling and both children have been nurtured and loved by all the wonderful teachers and staff. I would recommend the school to anyone.

The Toet Family
As a mother, I could not be more thrilled with my school choice. Stirling focuses on each child’s needs. The children feel prepared for each faze of development. The staff is professional and passionate. I know I am giving my child the best school start. Thank you.

Tanith du Toit
Stirling is a wonderful and nurturing school. All the teachers are exceptional and really care about each child’s development.  If only Stirling had a junior and high school too!

What an awesome school Stirling is! The teachers are warm & friendly and really care for our children. I am proud that my daughter is a part of Stirling.

Thank you for allowing us the awesome privilege of being a part of the Stirling family for three years. Ross has learnt so much and grown so wholesomely in his time at Stirling. He started off as a baby with Teacher Shawn and she nurtured his tiny spirit lovingly so that he could spread his wings and leave his home nest with confidence. His love affair with Stirling began. Then to Teacher Sharon where he had a great year forming his relationships with his peers and playing his heart out as he learnt. She taught him that fun and enjoyment were important and he longed to come to school every day. His final year was a fabulous one as Teacher Sonya helped him iron out any issues. His quest for knowledge startled us and he would come home daily with a mountain of facts that he would spurt out - teaching us all and relishing in the looks of amazement we gave him. He has learnt Afrikaans and Zulu words too. She is an amazing teacher and has given him the gift of a strong foundation. Lorna, thank you for caring about our fear of his peanut allergy and turning the school into a peanut free zone. As a mom I was afraid to "let go" and leave him and yet I felt so completely at ease leaving him in your professional care. The love and passion you have for your job is so evident and shines throughout the school. It is easy to see that all your staff are infected by his passion. The building blocks such as refining the gross motor skills have been so interesting for me as a mother to watch. Your interest in nutrition so that the children eat healthy food is amazing and has filtered down to Ross who knows about "good choices" and healthy eating. It is such a pity that more people don't attribute physical and mental health to food. It is reassuring to see you every day at school caring and steering the "ship" to such great heights of success. I will miss Victor's brilliant smile and laugh and his kindness to us all. He even knew the names of Ross' sisters! I will miss Gogo Thoko with her sweet smelling kitchen and her warm and gentle manner. Thank you again Lorna for everything. You deserve your desires for you have given so much to others. I miss Stirling already and feel heart sore to go. May be I have to have another baby so that I can start again! Thank you for fabulous, tremendous, amazing Stirling School. The Best School in the world. With much love and Blessings.
