Striving for excellence
Providing each learner with the skills necessary in a fast-paced, changing world.
Excellentia
Midstream College is a parallel medium (with instruction in either Afrikaans or English) private school with a Christian ethos situated in the south of Centurion. The high school opened its doors in 2007, and our first grade 12s wrote the IEB final exam in 2009.
We are known for high academic standards, top quality teachers, and firm discipline. Our balanced learners and alumni thrive nationally and internationally in the academic, sport, cultural and social spheres. The spacious school grounds house some of the most modern facilities in the country, including a huge auditorium, indoor swimming pool and hockey astro turf.
The mediocre teacher tells.
The good teacher explains.
The superior teacher demonstrates.
The great teacher inspires.
– William Arthur Ward
At Midstream College, our teachers are an inspiration to our learners. Our annual Belgian exchange programme and educational tours abroad are extremely popular. Our adventure club summits Mont-aux-Sources, goes kloofing in the Magaliesberg, river rafting on the Orange and diving at Sodwana Bay. The grade 10 Odyssey is a nine-day challenge not to be missed.
Quo Vadis? Semigrate to Midstream College and help shape our motto, Excellentia. Carpe Diem – make the most of the many opportunities Midstream offers.
OUR VALUES

Extract from newsletter 10 | July 2026
A belated warm welcome back to everyone after our well-deserved winter holiday. A salute to each learner (and their parents), as well as teachers who represented the school on various tours and excursions. A special word of congratulations to Aphelele Mbatsha who has been elected for the SA u17 girls’ hockey team that will soon be participating in an international tournament. Thank you also to everyone who started practising diligently towards the end of the holidays for the rugby and hockey matches and the revue performances ahead.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.

The third term is usually a bustling one and this year is going to be no exception. Good luck to all our orators and culture groups with their upcoming performances. I hope to see you all at our annual three-school concert in Ridge’s school hall on Saturday, 29 August. Due to the high demand in the past, there will be both an afternoon and evening show. My wish for all our hockey and rugby players involved in playoffs is to have fun and enjoy the opportunities. Our u16 and first boys’ hockey teams have already left for Potchefstroom for their Noordvaal finals. May they all display the necessary courage to do their best.
The matriculants are in the final straight on their way to their record exams. Good luck to them with their preparation. Nominations for the new Midstream Council and prefects will start on Friday. At this early stage, I would like to thank the current head leaders, prefects and Midstream Council for their excellent work during their reign. Their passion and enthusiasm are commendable.
A great leader’s courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position.

The grade 8 to 11 learners have a lot to look forward to this term. I would like to encourage parents to motivate their children to embrace the camps and the Odyssey. These incredible opportunities to relax with their friends in the outdoors must not be missed. The Odyssey, as well as the camps, form an integral part of the College’s educational process. Carpe diem!
