COLLECT THEM EACH MONTH AS A HANDY GUIDE
ALSO CATERING FOR THE BRIGHTEST PUPILS Our programme includes six months with a counsellor to build self esteem, discuss friendship issues and learn to deal with authority successfully. This makes Pinelands North unique in the Western Cape as it addresses essential social skills which are often lacking in exceptionally bright people! Pupils learn thinking skills and creativity in multi-age classes once a week and have a small group lesson learning how to research and to record. Our grade 5 to 7 pupils are writing an essay comparing the world of 2000 with 2010 from just an A3 page of data! They have already written their autobiographies this year, and produced a book of very intricate paper mechanisms.
