Why kids should come to Pelham...

Calling all school kids ! If u r between the ages of 9 and 13 u  should come to Pelham! It has SO much to offer the young kids of today here.The teachers , grounds,activities and all other aspects of Pelham are fun fresh and safe for all kids.

There are many teachers, secretaries and a headmaster, Louis Botha, who are all more than happy to teach help and have fun with all Pelham pupils past and present.The grounds at this wonderful school are tip-top and the cleaning staff are hard-working and use tremendous effort to make sure the gardens, quadrangle and fields are clean and safe.
Pelham also has much to offer for all athletes of body and mind with a variety of sports and after school activities such as rugby,cricket and soccer for the boys ,netball for the girls and swimming, tennis,chess, computer club, swimming,hockey and basketball for both boys and girls.
Pelham is very well developed in academics and sport, but they are also far into their disciplinary level standing on four main pillars courtesy, control,commitment and consideration and hold a high level of respect for neighbouring school as well as anyone else visiting the school.



The Pelham crest . Very reknown for the motto Ad Colles which in latin means "I look unto the hills".
Pelham,s crest has a wilderbeest galloping to the this symbolifys that we ,Pelham are un-afraid in battle and that we do not go down without a fight.The motto AD COLLES is latin for i look unto the hills which transfers the message that we look to become all that we can in life and that we look to the bright future.Pelham is very religious and our psalm is plasm 121 in the Bible.
The conclusion and moral of this blog is that Pelham is agreat,clean,safe and fun school for all kids and parents should seriously consider moving their children into Pelham.Hope to see you at pelham soon !
