The study investigated the role of school community partnership in promoting learner discipline. The study was conducted in three primary schools of Mankweng Circuit in Limpopo Province. In this study the population consisted of School Governing Body and School Management Teams. Purposeful sampling was used to select 2 SGB and 4 SMT with three years’ experience in the positions they occupied. The study followed qualitative approach with case study as research design. The research paradigm used was interpretive because the study consisted of SMTs and SGBs’ subjective experience on school community partnership. Data was collected through individual interviews. Thematic approach was used to analyse data by a way of identifying themes from the interviews and discuss. The results of this study have revealed that SMT members did not involve community because it was assumed that community lack knowledge on issues of learner discipline. The study further revealed that it was difficult for SMT members to work with some of community members due to their level of education. The study recommended that there should workshops to educate communities about school community partnership to promote learner discipline.
