This year marks a special milestone as Waterfall Pre-Primary celebrates 10 wonderful years on the iThemba Campus. Founded in 1974, the school was originally known as Crossroads Pre-Primary and was based in Rowles Avenue, Waterfall. For more than four decades, the school built a strong reputation for providing an exceptional foundation for young boys and girls in the Upper Highway community.
Towards the end of 2015, the school relocated to its beautiful new home on the picturesque iThemba Campus, across the road from Cotswold Downs in Hillcrest. In January 2016, the first eager little learners walked through the gates, with 40 boys and girls enrolled as the school began this exciting new chapter.
Today, the school is part of the Waterfall Schools community and serves as home away from home to over 150 children, from four months of age to Grade 00. A team of 30 passionate staff are committed to partnering with parents as they nurture the little one’s bodies, hearts and minds.
As we celebrate this special anniversary, we also bid a heartfelt farewell to our current Principal, Paula Mason, who has led the school since 2012. Her nurturing leadership has made a lasting impact on the Waterfall Pre-Primary community and we thank her sincerely for her many years of dedicated service.
At the same time, we warmly welcome Angela Richardson as our new Principal. With more than 30 years’ experience in early childhood and foundation phase education, Angela brings a wealth of knowledge and leadership. She will officially join Waterfall Pre-Primary on 1 April 2026, and we look forward to the future under her guidance.
As we celebrate this milestone, we honour the legacy of those who have shaped Waterfall Pre-Primary and look forward with excitement to the many little footsteps still to come.
