Senior Phase / Seniorfase
INTRODUCTION
Our School’s Senior Phase is from Grade 7 – 9. We offer a safe, friendly and caring environment for our SP learners. Most of our learners leave our school at the end of Grade 7 to be placed in mainstream schools (in accordance to our Mission and Vision). If the intervention of therapists did not prove to be successful, the learners will stay with us up to Grade 9.
Grade 7 is therefore an important year in the life of the learner with the potential to be placed in mainstream. It serves as a platform from which such a learner can gain self-confidence, skills and attitudes which often probe to be extremely valuable in their Grade 8 year.

INLEIDING
Ons skool se Senior Fae is van Graad 7 – 9. Ons bied ‘n veilige, vriendelike en koesterende ruimte aan ons SF leerders. Meeste van ons leerders verlaat ons skool aan die einde van hul Graad 7 jaar en word dan geplaas in hoofstroom skole (verwys na ons skool se Visie en Missie). Indien die terapeutiese intervensie nie suksesvol blyk te gewees het nie, sal so ‘n leerder gewoonlik by ons bly tot aan die inde van sy / haar Graad 9 jaar.
Graad 7 is daarom ‘n belangrike jaar vir die leerder met potensiaal om uitgeplaas te word. Dit dien as ‘n platform vir die leerder met ‘n lae selfbeeld, swak waaghouding en/of aanpassingsprobleme, waarvandaan hy/sy selfvertroue kan kry, vaardighede en waardes kan aanleer wat hom / haar later baie handig te pas sal kom in hoofstroomskole.
