A big part of willpower is having something to aspire to, something to live with –  Mark Shuttleworth

 

Work at home

Due to COVID-19 many learners are at home daily as we only accommodate learners in group A and group B on alternative days. Please motivate and support your child to complete all tasks or assignments (SBA) as preparation for the next day when they attend school. Learners must work continuously and develop a
productive work ethic.

Mandatory intervention

To guarantee a good pass, all learners must complete all the compulsory SBAs. It is essential that the SBA must result in a percentage of achievement to promote
a pass for that subject. Learners who fail to do homework or have substandard presentation of SBAs, will be subjected to a mandatory intervention session
after school.  Parents and learners will be notified by the subject educator when he/she MUST report for such a session. Failure to attend might lead to
suspension of classes and/or a parent meeting with the subject educator or senior staff member.

School Based Assessment (SBA)

All subjects have (SBAs) prescribed by CAPS which is support for learners to pass. Learners must adhere to the strict timelines of the program of assessment per subject. All SBAs must be done properly to ensure a pass. A pass of 60% per task is required and recommended to secure an eventual pass per subject and grade.
