History / Geskiedenis
Lantern School was officially opened on 9 January 1985. The first principal was Mr L. C. Robinson. At the time the school rented buildings from Rand Mines Pty Ltd in Maraisburg. In 1985 education was provided from Grade 1 to Standard 2 (Gr 4) and the school had 46 learners.
At the end of 1989 Lantern School relocated to the premises of Westgate Primary School after Westgate Primary School’s amalgamation with Princess Primary. In 1993 Lantern School had the first group of matrics.
Lantern School aims at assisting children with an average or above-average IQ who suffer from learning disabilities. Learners should be placed in a mainstream school once their disabilities have been remediated.
Op 9 Januarie 1985 is Lanternskool amptelik geopen. Mnr. L. C. Robinson was die eerste hoof. Op daardie stadium het die skool geboue gehuur van Rand Mines Pty Ltd in Maraisburg. Die skool het begin met 46 leerlinge van Graad 1 tot Standard 2 (Gr 4).
Aan die einde van 1989 het Westgate Primary School en Princess Primary saamgesmelt en het Lanternskool die skoolgeboue en -gronde van Westgate Primary School oorgeneem. In 1993 het Lanternskool hulle eerste Matrikulante gehad.
Die doel van Lanternskool is om leerlinge met n gemiddelde en bo-gemiddelde IK wat sekere leerprobleme ondervind, te onderrig. Sodra leerlinge hulle leerprobleme deur remediëring kon oorkom, behoort hulle teruggeplaas te word in die hoofstroom.
