How are the classes divided? 

In Grade 1, we divide into 2 younger and 2 older classes. We do this for emotional growth reasons, not academics. From Grade 2 on children are divided randomly- no academic streaming takes place.

INTERMEDIATE PHASE

What curriculum do you follow?  We follow CAPS but we adapt it to suit our school's needs and to ensure continuity and not too much repetition between grades.

What subjects are taught? English, Afrikaans, Maths, Social science (History and Geography), Natural science and Life Orientation.

SENIOR PHASE

The Grade 7 learners assume 

various responsibilities.  As the seniors of the school, the Grade 7 learners also enjoy certain privileges. There are numerous activities throughout the year (e.g. camp, social evenings, and outings) which help to make this final year at Fish Hoek Primary School very memorable.
