- Laerskool Morester Primary moved from Laerskool Modderbee
- As the school could not be known as Laerskool Modderbee anymore, there was a competition where people had to come up with a name for the new school
- A learner from Laerskool Modderbee won the competition by naming the school Morester and the learner also developed the school emblem
- Laerskool Morester Primary was opened on the 9th of September 1983 by professor J. H. Jooste.
