At St Michael’s School for Girls learners are eased into the Intermediate Phase by being with only one teacher for most of their subjects.
Learners of Grades 4–6 are gently eased into the Intermediate Phase in Grade 4 by remaining with one educator for most subjects. This classroom based teaching approach supports a smoother transition from the Foundation Phase. In Grade 4, learners also begin to choose between Afrikaans and Sesotho as their First Additional Language. Their emotional well being is prioritised during this important transition year.
From Grade 5 onwards, learners are taught by subject specialists and begin rotating between classrooms. All classrooms are spacious, well lit, and beautifully decorated, providing an engaging and stimulating learning environment. During the week, free subject specific extra classes are offered to learners from Grades 4 to 6, providing additional academic support where needed. We also have a Day-Care Centre that offers a safe and structured environment in the afternoons, where learners receive assistance with homework and enjoy supervised care.
Learners are also encouraged to participate in a wide range of enrichment activities across various subjects. These include Language Spelling Bees, Story Reviews, as well as Mathematics and Natural Sciences & Technology Olympiads. Informal public speaking events are also held for Grades 4 to 6, giving learners a platform to develop confidence and oratory skills.
All Grade 6 learners take part in an informal drama production that includes main character speeches and choir performances, a fun filled event enjoyed by the whole school community. Additionally, Grade 6 learners are given opportunities to display and develop leadership skills by serving as chapel and class monitors
