OUR
HISTORY
Uthando
Primary School
Uthando Primary School was founded with a passion for empowering young minds through love, knowledge, and faith. We have proudly served our community for over years.
The school officially opened its doors on 1 August 1992 and was the first educational institution established in the Jukulyn area. It was founded under the leadership of the late Mr K.C. Ndalane, who served as the school’s first principal. At the time of its opening, the school had a remarkable enrolment of approximately 5,000 learners and a dedicated staff of 65 teachers.
Due to the high enrolment numbers, the school operated under a platooning system until 1999, where one group of learners attended in the morning and another in the afternoon. This system was phased out following the opening of nearby schools including Raikana, St Francis, and Seetsa sa Kgwedi, which helped ease the learner load.
