    B R I D G E H O U S E S C H O O L School Profile Mission Statement Bridge House is a sustainable South African learning community. In a changing world, we deliver a globally relevant education which realises each individual's potential to lead, innovate and serve with confidence. B R I D G E H O U S E S C H O O L The School Bridge House School is an independent, non-profit, co-educational, English-medium, day and boarding school for students from Playschool (2 years) to Grade 12. Boarding is available from Grade 6 to 12. History The school was established in 1995 by three founding families (Huxter, Friedman and Rands) and is celebrating its 25th year in 2020. In 1995, Graham Beck, owner of the neighbouring farm Bellingham, generously agreed to donate 10 hectares of an undeveloped corner of his farm and in mid-1998, the school moved from its original rented buildings to this spacious new campus. Before he passed away, Graham Beck donated an additional 18 hectares of land and Bridge House is now situated on 28 hectares in one of the most beautiful valleys in the world, with world-class facilities which have developed over time. Ethos The school's values are based on: integrity, love and compassion, health and vitality, positivity ('Can Do' attitude) and learning for life. As a member of the International Round Square Organisation the school is guided by the IDEALS (Internationalism, Democracy, Environment, Adventure, Leadership and Service). Bridge House is a multi-faith school.

  • COLLEGE NEWS No 2 22 January 2016
    COLLEGE NEWS No 2 www.bridgehouse.org.za 22 January 2016 Traditional Ringing-In In 2005, the Matric Class of that year presented the school with an antique scramble bell which had been used in World War 2. Later a bell tower was built and this was when the tradition of electing a Scramble Bell Ringer to ring the bell on auspicious occasions began. The first bell ringing occasion for this year took place last week when the Grade 8s and the new pupils in Grades 9 – 11 were rung in. Konrad Blümers, the Bell Ringer for 2016, “gave it stick” on the bell, accompanied by loud applause from the students lined up in the walkway. Welcome to the College, boys and girls! Grade 8 and 12 Fun Afternoon "It's ok, relax, they're probably just as nervous as you are." These were my thoughts as the Grade 8 orientation day began. Most of the Matrics of 2016 probably had the same thought, as we pondered spending the day with some younger, apprehensive strangers in Grade 8. I will admit, I never considered myself "old and wise" enough to be anyone's mentor, but I soon realised that the mentee-mentor relationship is just as much about forming a bond and leaving a legacy as it is about guidance. It was amazing to see the age gap between these two seemingly vastly different groups disappear. In place of this invisible barrier appeared a memory of an afternoon spent apple-bobbing, three-legged- racing, games, swimming and dancing, all of which will hopefully unite these groups further.

I am keenly aware that purpose underpinned by passion and connected through partnership makes it possible for us to make a difference, together!
