At Underberg Primary School, we aim to provide an excellent academic environment on every level. This allows each child to reach their potential with confidence and enthusiasm. We aim to produce learners who identify and solve problems and make decisions using critical and creative thinking, work effectively as individuals and with others as members of a team, organise and manage themselves and their activities responsibly and effectively, collect, analyse, organise, and critically evaluate information and communicate effectively using visual, symbolic and/or language skills in various modes.
In the Senior Primary, we use the CAPS curriculum as a base, supplementing with other activities to ensure a solid grounding.
