Pre-Primary
GRADE 000 - 0
Our Pre-Primary caters for children from Grade 000 (3 to 4 years) to Grade 0 (5 to 6 years).
Through interactive play the formative years of schooling are enhanced in an atmosphere of explorative fun in our fully equipped Pre-Primary “campus” housed within our greater Pinnacle Rynfield Campus.
With our evergreen Pre-Primary Playground, the children enjoy jungle gyms, sandpits, bike tracks, fantasy dress-up classrooms, beautifully painted murals and a sensory forest-garden that includes a child friendly maze to mention just a few exciting offerings.
Our inspirational staff create a safe and stimulating environment for the children, and make sure every one of them feel loved. The atmosphere in our classrooms provide a happy secure environment for the transition from nursery school into the formal disciplines of learning to read and write in Grade 1.
Our Pre-Primary programme includes:
Time-To-Read Programme
Global Competencies & De Bono 6 Thinking Hats
Physical Fitness
Numeracy & Literacy
Music & Movement
The aim throughout these formative years is to provide an informal, positive atmosphere where the children are encouraged to participate fully in all of these exciting activities as they enjoy an exponential learning journey readying them for Grade 1.
Included in the Pre-Primary Tuition Fee:
- Learn-To-Swim program conducted by a qualified swimming instructor in our heated outdoor School pool during the school day.
- Action Ball
- On Cue Theatre
Extra Mural activities – Monday to Thursday
