Music Centre
Laerskool Bergland
A few years ago, a house opposite the school was converted into a well-equipped music centre! The lovely garden adds to the beautiful surroundings from which music lessons are offered.
Individual tuition is offered in:
- Piano
- Recorder
- Keyboard
- Transverse flute
The Music teachers organize music concerts twice a year where participants have the opportunity to play in front of parents and interested parties. At the Nelspruit Eisteddfod, our music students regularly achieve exceptional achievements.
The Music Centre has a well-equipped marimba room where marimba group classes are offered. Grade 2 - 7 pupils may audition to be accepted into a marimba group. These groups always excel at the Nelspruit Eisteddfod.

The Music Centre gave piano, keyboard and recorder lessons to 75 learners. Many new learners could be placed. The Music Centre has entered a total of 54 items (including the marimba groups and choirs) for the 2022 Nelspruit Eisteddfod. 10 A++, 22 A+, 16 A, 4 B+ and 2 B symbols were obtained.
The Junior and Senior Choir performed at the 2022 Nelspruit and the National Eisteddfod. The choirs achieved A++ and A+ respectively at the 2022 Nelspruit Eisteddfod. At the 2022 National Eisteddfod, both choirs achieved Diplomas, which are awarded for outstanding performances.
Two music concerts for the individual piano, keyboard and recorder learners were presented. Every learner, even the learners who had just started music lessons, got the opportunity to perform. As part of the VonkelFees, the choirs and marimba groups had a concert together with the acting group. Each individual learner, as well as the marimba group and choir members, received a certificate at the end of the year at the Music Centre's Recognition events which were presented after the concerts.
Marimba groups from Gr. 2 to Gr. 7 was coached. Almost 110 learners were involved. The Gr. 4 – 7 groups also participated in the 2022 Nelspruit and National Eisteddfod. At the Nelspruit Eisteddfod there was only one other school that participated and we are proud to say that our school is the only school that, to our knowledge, has so many marimbas and a special marimba class. Bergland Primary School's marimba groups are known for their colorful costumes and well-rounded playing. Our symbols at the 2022 Nelspruit Eisteddfod were: 2 A++ and 2A+ symbols. These groups also received diplomas for their excellent performances at the 2022 National Eisteddfod.
Dr. On this occasion, Francois van den Berg expressed his appreciation for what is being done at Laerskool Bergland for the promotion of music.
Vonkelfees
The sparks are really flying! All Bergies with a music, dance, drama, singing and art talent are encouraged to be part of Bergland Primary School's brand new, sparkling, dazzling "Vonkel Fees!"
We are looking for learners with the X-factor to enchant the audience with their artistry. An art exhibition forms part of the festival and learners can display their masterpieces for all to admire!
Oudisie & Registrasie datums: TBD
VonkelFees TBD
Note: Learners can enter for more than one section (e.g. a Singing and Drama item), but can only qualify for one item during the final performance. It is a requirement that pieces that are performed are KNOWN AND WELL PREPARED. Items that have already been performed at external competitions (eg Eisteddfod / SACOPA) MAY BE PERFORMED AGAIN. Learners who want to enter works of art for the exhibition must register and may submit more than one 'masterpiece' per learner.
This is a golden opportunity for all future stars and artists!

The school annually holds an internal public speaking competition for Gr 2 - 7 learners. This competition is known as the "Bekkige Bergies"!
Learners who can talk a dog out of a forest, can reason well and have the potential to maybe one day be our future President, take part! (In short, these are the Bergies who can comfortably talk in front of and with others).
Sê jou Sê Interskole
Laerskool Bergland het hierdie jaar die HEEL EERTSE Laeveld Streek Interskole Redenaars geloots! Ons nooi skole van die kontrei uit om deel te vorm van hierdie inisiatief. Die tonge klap by ons Interskole Redenaars! Hierdie is ‘n gulde geleentheid vir talentvolle leerders om hul beredenerings-vaardighede ten toon te stel en met die “Pittige Prater”-trofee te pronk.
Die verteenwoordiger skryf ‘n totaal van agt (8) leerders van Graad 2 tot Graad 7 in om hul skool te verteenwoordig. Daar is vier (4) kategorië nl. Afrikaans Huistaal, Afrikaans Eerste Addisionele Taal, English Home Language en English First Additional Language. Leeders MAG gebruik maak van hul reeds bestaande toesprake wat gebruik was tydens ander kompetisies die jaar (bv. Interne, Radikale en/of ATKV-redenaars). Eksterne beoordelaars word ingespan om die deelnemers en hul beredeneerde toesprake te beoordeel. Die totale van elke deelnemer per skool word gekombineer en ‘n wenskool word sodoende aangekondig.
