Our Proud History in Stilbaai

Developing learners through academics, sport, and culture.

Laerskool Bertie Barnard was established in 1954 to serve the Stilbaai community. The school is named after Mr. Bertie Barnard, a dedicated former principal who played a vital role in the development of our town. Our school began with just three teachers and sixty learners and has since grown into a thriving educational institution.

Led by Principal Nicky Deetlefs, we strive to equip every learner to become a positive contributor to society. Diversity forms an integral part of human development here, whether in the classroom, on the sports field, or through leadership and cultural activities.
