Partnering with Stellenbosch University: Welcoming Our Student Teachers

We are proud to share that our school has partnered with Stellenbosch University to host five student teachers who are currently completing the vital practical component of their education degrees.

As a teaching community, we believe in mentoring the next generation of educators. Having these passionate university students walk alongside our experienced staff brings fresh perspective, innovative ideas, and extra energy into our classrooms.

What Their Presence Entails

While at our school, these student teachers are fully immersed in our daily academic environment. Under the close supervision of our mentor teachers, they are:

• Delivering core lessons aligned with the Department of Basic Education CAPS curriculum.
• Designing creative learning materials to help make complex concepts easily accessible.
• Assisting with classroom management and providing valuable individual support to our learners.
• Participating in holistic school life, from administrative tasks to extra-mural activities.
