Intermediate Phase
Learners are eased into the Intermediate Phase by being with only one teacher for most of their subjects. Learners also choose between Afrikaans and Sesotho as a First Additional Language. The emotional development and well-being of the learners are prioritized at the beginning of Grade 4 The classrooms are large, light and beautifully decorated.
Learners with learning barriers are assisted by two remedial teachers.
Maths extra classes are offered free of charge in Grades 4 – 6, and the Day-care Centre provides safe afternoon care and help with homework.
In Grade 5 the learners are taught by subject teachers. They move to the Ladybug Class for Maths and to the Owl Class for English. The Maths classroom has Maths games, building blocks and posters which make it a fun learning experience. The English Classroom has its own class library and learners are encouraged to read old classics (which have been adapted for lower grades) as well as modern literature like Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries.
Learners are provided with many enrichment activities in various areas and they are are encouraged to take part in Olympiads like Conquesta, the SACEE Language Challenge and the NST Olympiad.
