Homework
In the foundation phase we take homework very seriously as the primary purpose of homework is to practise and consolidate the work done in the classroom. A secondary purpose is to develop a sense of responsibility and good study habits in the learners.
- Homework is given on a daily basis.
- A period of 20-30 minutes must be set aside daily for the completion of homework.
- Parents must be involved in the completion of homework and must assume ultimate responsibility for the checking of homework. Homework books and reading cards must be checked and signed daily. Homework books are used as a communication method between parents and the school.

In the Intermediate and Senior Phase, we follow the CAPS curriculum.
School starts at 07:30 and ends at 14:30, allowing the allocated 27.5 hours of teaching per week.
In the Intermediate Phase we offer English Home Language and First Additional Language, Afrikaans Huistaal and Eerste Addisionele Taal, Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Technology, Social Sciences (History and Geography), Physical Education and Personal and Social Well-Being, Art and Drama.

Assessments:
Regular School Based Assessments (SBAs) are written every term. Quarterly assessment schedules are provided to the learners. Examinations are written in the second and fourth terms.
The weightings of the School Based Assessment (SBA) and end of the year examination are as follows:
Intermediate Phase SBA Component 80% and end of the year examination 20%

In the fourth term, the Gr 3 & 6 learners are evaluated in the Systemic Evaluation in Home Language and Mathematics by the Western Cape Education Department.

- Huiswerk word daagliks gegee.
- ‘n Periode van 20-30 minute per dag moet opsygesit word vir die voltooiïng van huiswerk.
- Ouers moet betrokke wees by die voltooiïng van huiswerk en moet uiteindelik verantwoordelikheid vir die kontrolering van huiswerk aanvaar.
