A January return to classrooms carried extra meaning for learners and staff at Curro Somerset West this year, as the school marked 10 years of serving the local community at the start of 2026.
For some learners it marked their first school day and for others another step on a long journey that exceeds a decade.
Curro Somerset West has grown to offer education from early childhood through Grade 12, becoming a familiar part of daily life for many families. Over the years, learners have progressed through the grades in an environment shaped by routine, relationships, and steady academic focus.
Classrooms, playgrounds and sports fields have all played a role in that journey. Teachers have supported learners through key transitions – from early learning milestones to the demands of senior school – helping them build confidence and independence along the way.
The school’s Jaguar mascot remains a visible presence at assemblies and events, encouraging learners to “leave tracks” through their choices and behaviour.
Values such as trust, respect, kindness and celebrating differences continue to guide everyday interactions across the campus.
Academic progress remains central. The 2025 matric results reflected consistent performance within the Independent Examination Board curriculum, marking the end of school journeys that began many years earlier for the class of 2025.
Curro Somerset West will host an open day on Saturday 21 February, giving prospective families a closer look at the school.
