We need more space because:

• We accommodated learners with various difficulties e.g: ADHD; Bipolar; Anger; Depression, Autism spectrum; Addictions
• We give remedial therapy and various extra classes
• Counselling
• We test learners for substance abuse:
  • We send learners to rehabs and allow them back after treatment and support them when they come back.
  • We counsel them over time; behaviour change in most of them to pass Gr.12 
• We allow pregnant learners to stay in school
• We have provided glasses to 159 learners, from 2015 – 2018
• For learners to achieve Gr.12 are more important to us than a 100% pass rate
