History
Laerskool Midstream College Primary was the dream of the developers of Midstream Estates, the Bondev Group. The school was opened in January 2006, by its directors: Johan van Wyk, Jan Zeederberg, Riaan Botma and Chris Smith.
With quality education and the developmental needs of the surrounding estate in mind, the Latin word Excellentia, meaning excellence, was chosen as the school’s motto.The school badge combines key landmarks from the area: the bridges over the stream, the Highveld ridges and the towers at the entrance to Midstream.
After much deliberation, it was decided that the College would be a parallel-medium institution. Laerskool Midstream College Primary was officially opened on 17 January 2006, with Vernon Harmse as headmaster. At the time, the school had 21 teachers and 370 learners from Grade 1 to Grade 7.
The Laerskool Midstream College Primary school song was written and composed by the very talented former music teacher, Antoinette Holford. The school hall was officially opened on 19 January 2007, followed by die opening of the Bondev Pavilion in November 2007.
Today, Midstream Schools consists of Laerskool Midstream College Primary, Laerskool Midstream Ridge Primary, and Midstream College High School.
