Socio-Economic Environment

Socio-Economic Environment

 Since the school is coming from the township background, it is poor both socially and economically. Our school has been declared a “Quintile 3” (non- fee-paying school), this means, our learners are not paying, and the school offers them everything for free. Our school is a Section 20, the money given from the government is “ring fenced” specifically for Learning and Teaching Materials, Services and Maintenance only. Learners attending at our school are from mixed black cultural backgrounds and they are mostly poor as they are from within the area. Most of our learner population are IsiZulu and Sesotho speaking. 

The conditions of our school are generally poor, even though are gradually improving due to the municipal development that is taking place within the area.
