Our small classes
We are committed to maintaining small classes. If any class grows beyond 25, it is split into two classes of 13 learners each. Our average class size in 2022 was 13, with more in the lower grades and between 6 and 11 in the higher grades. Compare this to over 40 per class in some Midrand schools!
Grades 10 and above are limited to 15 learners.
Sport
Until mid 2020, we used the indoor facilities at Midrand Action Sport, but have since acquired large grounds next door to the school. These have been cleared and re-grassed and are a delight to play or relax on. All grades will continue to play netball (girls) and soccer (boys).
We also do well in running events, usually held at Midrand High School
School bus service
The 23 seater bus transports learners from home to school and back again at a cost of R940 per month or part month.
It will collect the more distant learners first and those closest to the school last. Likewise it will drop off the closest learners first and the more distant ones last.
Not all addresses can be accessed in the time available, so we are unable to guarantee a seat on the bus for all applicants.
