Primary School
Visitor’s Day Every Wednesday by appointment
Building a firm foundation through:
- Phonics based Literacy
- Comprehensive Mathematics Skills
- Life Skills
- Character Development
Something unique to our school is our mentoring programme. Learners from Grade 4 to Grade 12 spend time in smaller groups with a mentor teacher in which relevant topics, for example conflict management, friendships, and the responsible use of social media, are discussed.
We are proud to be the 2023 Platinum School Award winner for implementation of the Eyebraingym online reading programme, building on our success of being the Gold winner in 2022. Eyebraingym uses the latest technology to improve visual processing, reading and comprehension skills. We use this programme with all our Grade 4 and 8 learners to help develop these critical skills. Grade 4 was selected to give a solid foundation as learners move into the Intermediate Phase and begin with weekly cycle tests. Grade 8 was selected as we have a significant intake of new learners into this grade and this programme helps to prepare them for high school.
