ACADEMIC Curriculum Leader: Linda Bester SCHOOL
HOURS 2005 Amidst
a very busy holistic menu, the curriculum of Durbanville Primary remains the
focal point. The teaching of basic skills, namely reading, writing and maths
forms the basis of our teaching and provides our learners with a solid grounding
for any high school. We are very proud of our child orientated curriculum which is dynamic and actual. The staff are equipped with the necessary training, subsequent skills and have the experience to develop and upgrade the curriculum. New ideas are carefully implemented and aimed at critical long term outcomes. Curriculum 2005 is at present being responsibly phased in and the learners who have been exposed to it, have found it to be challenging and interesting. New skills are learnt and practiced by means of group work, questions at different levels and differentiated worksheets. We believe that the modular system provides our learners with maximum learning opportunities and skills development. Modules are developed and structured by the staff. All modules have aims, contents, specific learning areas and assessments. SUBJECTS
TEXT BOOKS AND STATIONARY Learners borrow the textbooks and return them in the same condition. Lost or damaged books must be replaced by the parents. Books must be returned when a pupil leaves the school. All other stationery, pencils, erasers, pens etc. must be bought by the learners. Files for the storing of completed modules are available at school at R6,00 each. PARTICIPATION IN SCHOOL PROGRAM Each learner is expected to participate in the full school program as stipulated by the Western Cape Education Department. All enrolled learners are expected to attend classes according to the disciplinary rules of the school.
