Our History

Rooted in faith for over 90 years.

Little Flower Primary School is a Catholic school in Eshowe, KwaZulu-Natal, opened after the Little Flower Mission was founded in 1928. Rev. Father Ignatius Jutz established the school on 2 August 1932 — with 21 learners on the very first day.

Today we proudly host one Grade RR class and three classes in each grade from Grade 1 through Grade 7.

Principal's Welcome

Every Hand Held, Every Heart Included.

As Principal, it is my great privilege to welcome you to our digital home — a glimpse into the vibrant and faith-filled community that makes Little Flower Primary School so special. As a Roman Catholic school, our mission is rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and inspired by faith, love, compassion, service and respect. At the heart of our community is our beloved patron saint, St Thérèse of Lisieux, the Little Flower.

Through her "Little Way," St Thérèse taught that the simplest acts, done with genuine love, become beautiful expressions of faith. Every kind word, helping hand, act of forgiveness and effort to learn is an opportunity to "do small things with great love." Like a little flower that grows with care, sunlight and nourishment, each child entrusted to us has the potential to flourish.

Education is about more than academic achievement. We provide a strong academic foundation while nurturing young people who are compassionate, resilient and respectful. Our dedicated staff create a nurturing environment where every child feels known, valued, safe and loved — and knows their voice matters.

In partnership with our parents and guardians, we form young people who carry the values of our Catholic faith into their homes and the wider world. I invite you to explore and discover the opportunities, achievements and experiences that make Little Flower a special place to learn, grow and belong.

May God bless our learners, families, staff and the entire Little Flower community.

Principal, Little Flower Primary School
