Ridgeville Primary has a thirty-seven year old relationship with the Westridge Community. It has accomplished many successes in the academic field, on the sportsfield as well as in the field of Information Technology and Engineering. 

Their motto and ethos is always to “Strive towards the Best” and this they have done academically as well as in sport and culture. While undergoing a paradigm shift in education from the old to the new, the school has maintained its traditions as many of the parents were past learners at Ridgeville.

As they recognized the growing importance of computer-aided

education if their learners were to engage in a global society,

they acquired their first computer laboratory through shear

determination, perseverance and the help of Golden Arrow

Foundation in 2000. The PCs in this laboratory rapidly became

obsolete and problematic and there was no sustainability play

for the laboratory. Khanya then became involved at Ridgeville

Primary, supplying an additional 25 computers, software and a

facilitator. 

The learners and educators are very positive about their new

facilities. They find their visits to the laboratories enriching and

they eagerly anticipate each visit. Educators are being trained

in the software and in general computer literacy and they

attend training sessions enthusiastically. They feel empowered

by the Khanya experience and fully intend utilizing the tools at

their disposal. Through Khanya, new life has been breathed into

the learning process for both learners and educators.

Ridgeville Primary is true to the spirit of community and hope to open the doors of their laboratories to their community for computer literacy classes and for ABET.
