Holiday schools will be given as a support for the individual child in 2 areas:
A system of workshops addressing both academic and self growth, life skills has
been put in place. The workshops will facilitate issues
around values, beliefs, goals and commitment.
These workshops
will be held during school holidays as
a support system to assist the child to get through the
normal educational school curriculum.
Workshops will be
given as a support for the individual child in 2 areas:
Academic - It has become
known that an alarming amount of Orphans are not passing
school in a positive way. This is not only harmful to their
already fragile self esteem but does not facilitate the
progressive movement to get them to enter tertiary education.
There have been so many changes to the education system
in South Africa in recent years that teachers are not coping
with the syllabus and therefore the needed knowledge is
not being passed on to the learners.
The workshops will
focus on learners in Grades 10 and 11 and 12. In
time we hope to expand to Grades 6, 7 and 8 and 9. We
will initially focus on Gauteng/Soweto and Pretoria / Attridgeville, Mamelodi .
. Each group will have highly trained teachers making
the experience not only successful academically but also
interactive
for all. We encourage top Grade 11 learners from private
schools to assist the "master" teacher in order to create a way of learners from more advantaged schools to interact and "give back" to
less advantaged learners. |
