The School Vision
Guiding Principles
The following are the school’s guiding principles
A Specialised Foundational School
A small, community-based school, that caters for the needs of 5-10-year olds. We offer Grade R to Grade 3. The school is set up to build a strong foundation for learners to move to the next phase.
Excellence
The school aims for academic excellence. This is achieved through excellence in teaching, the delivery of specialised learner support to address temporary learning difficulties and the provision of learner extension to engage those learners with academic strengths.
Inclusivity
The school encourages children of diverse racial and cultural backgrounds – all the better to learn from each other and to contribute to South African society.
Whole development
The school focuses on the holistic development of learners, including academics, physical development, the values of citizenship, the discovery of each child’s loves and talents, the facilitation of emotional maturity, social skills, social responsibility and the building of future ready skills.
Nurturing
To provide a safe, secure, magical, learner centred (recognising needs and talents) environment which encourages compassion for others. The school team take on and develops the child; a child’s development is not the responsibility of just one educator.
Prepared for the future
The school strives to understand what is required to better prepare young children for the future, and to consider how this should inform the approach to developing the school – and the approach to teaching and learning.
Support Centenary Fund
The purpose of the Fund is to support children who need a special intervention to develop their potential, for example, extra academic tuition, language or maths lessons, sports uniforms, or psycho social counselling.
