Company description

The Governing Body has a very important role in the school as we have 66 Governing Body posts and 41 WCED posts. The governing Body therefore plays an important role in decision making and management of key issues in the school. We have a very active, successful and hard-working PTA made up of parents who selflessly volunteer their time and expertise and whose efforts flourish under the brilliant leadership of the PTA Chariperson, Mrs Trish Humby. The school has 48 educators in Grades R to 7. Each grade from 1 to 7 has at least one assistant teacher, as well as 3 assistants in Grade R. Five educators man the school’s two IT centres (junior and senior), a library, an art classroom and a technology room. We also have two staff members specifically appointed to provide Physical Training for all our learners from Grades R-7. Our network-, database- and system administrator oversees the technical infrastructure of the school. Our Remedial department (EST), consists of 1 permanent and 1 private remedial teacher, 1 occupational therapist (private), 1 hearing and speech therapist (private) and 21 of our educators who are responsible for didactic aid. In 2005, a Cultural Centre was built and music tuition is offered by 2 permanent staff members and 3 semi-private music teachers.
