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
from the headmaster's office
Much has transpired since our last newsletter. Our first two winter sport derbies have been completed with great success, and we are looking forward to an exciting season. (Detailed sport results are available on the link in this newsletter.) We also had a very successful open day last Wednesday. A sincere word of thanks to Ms Heléne Meyer and Dr Dirk Uys who were at the forefront of this, as well as to all the staff and learners for their positive contribution.
Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans.

We are very grateful that Ms Michelle Clark is back at the College after spending a few days in intensive care following an operation last week. I’m also grateful to be able to recuperate at home after retinal eye surgery and a lens transplant in my right eye after a retinal detachment. One moment I was planning how I was going to watch the various sport codes against Cornwall Hill and the next moment I was out of action. Thank you again for everyone’s good wishes, support and prayers. I really appreciated the mass message from the learners during assembly on Monday just before my operation. Soli Deo Gloria.
The grade 11 learners involved in this year’s Belgian exchange can no longer wait to receive their Belgians on home soil towards the end of the holidays. Bon voyage to all our swimmers, athletes and winter sport teams who are literally traversing the country in the next two weeks. I hope every parent, learner and teacher finds time to rest and pamper yourselves in the next two weeks. Enjoy the holidays!
