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
Why a new school building?
-
We are currently renting
-
Premises not ideal for a school
-
Have very restricted sport facilities
-
Filled to capacity, we have to show learners away because of lack of space
