INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR PHASE
The school follows the National Curriculum, with particular focus on the Curriculum Assessment Policy (CAPS) and aims to produce students who are able to think critically using higher order thinking skills.
The use of Continuous Assessment allows teachers to evaluate teaching and learning on an ongoing basis. Frequent contact with parents, in order to give feedback, means that education becomes a true partnership between teachers, students and parents. The learning process is complimented by Specialist Teachers for Physical Education, swimming, Setswana (from Grade 5), Religious Education, Technology and Coding & Robotics. Every effort is made to create a relaxed, yet disciplined environment, in order to facilitate meaningful teaching and learning.
A Library for research, to ensure that students develop a passion for reading.
The school strives to maintain a cutting-edge approach to both curriculum and content.
Students are encouraged to care for each other, and for those who are less fortunate, by participating in the school’s Outreach Programmes ( SPCA Day, Hospice Pack-a-Sack, Mandela Day, Tekkie Tax Day, etc).
