The school announced today that Mrs. Madelyn Burger has been appointed as the new Head of Department (HOD) for Languages.

A Passion for the Written and Spoken Word

An HOD position requires more than just teaching ability; it requires vision, leadership, and the ability to mentor other educators. Mrs. Burger is well-known within the school community for precisely these traits.

The school described her appointment as a win for the learners, citing her "passion for language" and "dedication to excellence" as key factors in her selection. In an era where literacy and communication skills are becoming increasingly critical for future success, having a leader with a genuine "heart for education" at the helm of the language department is a strategic advantage for the school.

Enriching Futures

The role of the Language Department extends beyond the classroom walls. It shapes how learners express themselves and interact with the world. Potchefstroom Primary noted that Mrs. Burger’s leadership will "continue to enrich our learners’ futures."

This appointment marks the beginning of an exciting journey for the department. As the school prepares for the 2026 academic year, Mrs. Burger’s guidance will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in maintaining the high academic standards for which Potchefstroom Primary is known.

From the desk of The Go-To Guy, we extend our hearty congratulations to Mrs. Madelyn Burger. We wish you wisdom and creativity as you lead this vital department.
