Our Foundation Phase Department is a happy place where children are encouraged to explore, discover and share their natural passion for learning about their world. Our team is headed up by a dynamic Phase Head, and is completed with a passionate, experienced, dedicated and creative team of teachers. It includes Grades 1 – 3, with five classes in each grade, two English and three Afrikaans classes and approximately 30 children per class. We all share a common goal and that is our responsibility to each and every individual pupil in our department. We strive to give the children the intellectual and emotional nourishment that will help them to reach their full potential. We aim to achieve high levels of academic knowledge, but also to develop skills and attitudes, values and accountability that will enable them to successfully face the challenges of higher grades and life in general. The emphasis at this level is to lay foundations for learning in a “Fun Filled” and integrated manner and to encourage respect and resilience.
