Learning and Teaching

Grade 6 students are currently studying microorganisms and their characteristics. They have been learning about the differences between bacteria, fungi, and viruses. To enhance their understanding, the students have created models of the microorganisms they researched. For their homework, they will be writing up a disease caused by a particular organism. This activity will not only help them grasp the importance of microorganisms but also their impact on human health. Overall, it's a fascinating and educational project that will allow the students to develop a deeper appreciation of the microorganisms that surround us

Our Grade 10 Business students were gathered together to work on past paper questions. The students collaborated with one another, sharing their insights and knowledge to answer the challenging questions. They brainstormed various approaches to tackle each problem and exchanged ideas on how to improve their responses. The collaboration encouraged active participation and boosted the students' confidence in their abilities Working together also provided an opportunity for students to learn from one another and develop their problem-solving skills. The positive outcomes of this collaborative effort were evident in the students' improved understanding of the subject matter and their increased readiness for future exams.
