Grade R - 3:   Foundation Phase

The Foundation Phase is very privileged to have 6 enthusiastic educators who believe in the core of teaching and assisting children in their early development. We still emphasize teaching the basic Writing, Reading and Arithmetic’s skills on a daily basis.

We are very proud of our Grade 3 learners from previous years who excelled in the National LitNum Tests. The Foundation Phase also takes part in an Annual National Olympiad and achieves very good results in respect to other schools throughout South Africa.

Each grade has the opportunity to organise an entrepreneurs day where we teach them basic trading and marketing skills.

The Thrass (Phonics) programme is implemented from Gr. R to 3 and makes a difference in their Listening and Writing Skills.

The learners experience different fields of browsing the internet for information on class topics and discussions. They also learn how to use the tools and multimedia provided by the interactive boards. No more writing with chalk on green boards, only the
latest technology is needed to explore the unexploited.

We focus on mass participation and we include a Sport Skills program within our normal school day. The learners get the change to develop their skills in basic school sports and also take part in school sport festivals and other matches against local schools. A good balance is kept between developing basic skills and coping and adjusting as a team member.

We also make time to have fun and each grade goes out on outings each term, takes part in a concert and enjoys events organized by the school and parents.
