Grade R
Our school is a preparatory school that specializes in Foundation Phase education. We have seven Grade R classes. We are a parallel-medium school for learners from an English or Afrikaans home language background.
The Grade R classes have their own play area that is equipped to appropriately develop the holistic needs of five/six year olds. They also have their own ablution facilities. The Grade R classes conclude their year with a special graduation ceremony promoting them to the higher grades.
Each experienced teacher is supported by a class assistant. We boast a playground that is constantly evolving and progressing.
Within an enriched daily and weekly program, learners have ample opportunity to develop language, mathematics and perceptual skills. They have the opportunity to be creative, value music and develop gross- and fine motor skills.

Homework
Homework is an important aspect in the education of your child. The purpose of homework is to:
- establish links between school and home
- enable a child to master and reinforce the content of schoolwork already learnt in the classroom
- assist learners in developing resourcefulness
- supply an additional outlet for reading, enrichment and extension
- allow pupils an opportunity to complete work they could not finish at school.
