Today marks the beginning of another great era.

We are very proud to announce that Mr. Plaatjies has been appointed as Principal of Rufane Donkin Primary School.

Mr. Plaatjies has worked hard since he was appointed as Deputy Principal of our school, 9 years ago.

Today marks a historic achievement as his hard work has paid off. He is a shining example to our learners and staff - proving that by working hard you can achieve anything.

As a school we look forward to working under his able guidance as he leads with vision and guides with heart.

We ask for God's blessings and grace over him as he starts this new chapter in his life and career.

Congratulations Mr. Plaatjies!
