Alle Graad 1-aansoeke vir openbare skole in Gauteng gaan deur die Gauteng Departement van Onderwys (GDO) se aanlyn stelsel by gdeadmissions.gov.za. Die GDO bepaal die datums, nie die skool nie, en kondig dit gewoonlik eers sowat ’n week vooraf aan. Vir die 2027-skooljaar was aansoeke oop van 4 Augustus tot 5 September 2026. Dit is nou gesluit en leerders word geplaas. Aansoeke vir 2028 sal in 2027 plaasvind; ons laat weet sodra die datums bekend is. Lees meer op ons Graad 1-bladsy.
English: How do I apply for Grade 1? All Grade 1 applications for public schools in Gauteng go through the Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) online system at gdeadmissions.gov.za. The GDE sets the dates, not the school, and usually announces them only about a week in advance. For the 2027 school year, applications were open from 4 August to 5 September 2026. They have now closed and learners are being placed. Applications for 2028 will take place in 2027; we’ll share the dates as soon as they’re announced.
Bespreek ’n afspraak met die hoof by marlet@llg.co.za, en u kry ’n toer deur die skool. Ons volgende opedag is voorlopig op 15 Mei 2027.

Laerskool Louw Geldenhuys is ’n Afrikaansmedium-skool. Engels word as ’n vak aangebied.
English: What is the language of teaching? Laerskool Louw Geldenhuys is an Afrikaans-medium school. English is taught as a subject.
Ja. Ons beveel sterk aan dat u kind reeds in Graad R begin, sodat hy of sy Afrikaans deur spel aanleer voor die formele werk van Graad 1. In Graad R mag kinders aanvanklik Engels praat om selfvertroue te bou, en Afrikaans word geleidelik ingebring. Die Habitat bied spraakterapie, opvoedkundige sielkunde, arbeidsterapie en remediërende ondersteuning waar nodig. Ouers help deur Afrikaanse boeke, programme en oudioboeke tuis te gebruik, en deur huiswerk in Afrikaans te verduidelik. Lees meer in ons reeks: Hoe gouer, hoe beter, Een, twee, drie tale – ’n geskenk en Uitdagings.
English: Can my child attend if we don’t speak Afrikaans at home? Yes. We strongly recommend starting in Grade R, so your child learns Afrikaans through play before the formal work of Grade 1 begins. In Grade R, children may speak English at first to build confidence, and Afrikaans is introduced gradually. Die Habitat, our support centre, offers speech therapy, educational psychology, occupational therapy and remedial support where needed. Parents help by using Afrikaans books, TV programmes and audiobooks at home, and by explaining homework in Afrikaans.
