High School Teachers

FET Phase

The FET Phase includes Grades 10 -12. We have two classes per grade, and we pride ourselves on our small classes and the individual attention we can offer our learners. We have an immensely talented and efficient senior school staff. A number of our matric teachers serve as markers, senior markers and internal moderators for various subjects across the province during the end of year Grade 12 Examinations.

There is a great sense of coherence and unity in this phase, with emphasis placed on academic excellence. But we offer much more than just that. The staff tries to develop each learner holistically, reminding them of the foundation of our ethos – Ante Deum Asto.
