Vision for Science Department at McGregor Waldorf College

Permaculture

What we are developing here at the McGregor Waldorf College is a vision that incorporates the school environment as a learning center for Science and Technology. Our environment has risen to the forefront of topical issues on our world platform. The new curriculum is embracing all aspects that strive to educate our children to become more aware of working harmoniously with our environment.

High School - Art

Grade 2 Art

The art department of the school would like the students to be able to use good materials. They themselves cannot afford to pay for it. Our school is in the countryside so access to a variety of art books via good libraries is not available.

Educare Centre, Zolani

Parents visit McGregor

Zolani is a big Black African township near by Ashton, Western Cape. There is no offer of English medium education in that area. 25 % of our Primary school children are at present bussed in from Zolani every day, a journey of about 45 minutes each way. This is, especially for the younger children, a long journey. It pushes up the running costs of the school because although the parents are required to pay bus fees, they only cover 50 % of the costs of running the bus.

Primary and High School Bus

School bus in Nquebela

About 43 % of our children come to school every day by bus. They live in Nquebela (Robertson) Township, Zolani (Ashton) Township and Bonnivale.

Grethe, our class 1 teacher, uses our 15 seater minibus to gather the younger children from Nquebela in the morning and bring them back right after school. Matthew, our hostel parent, drives our 40 seater, second hand bus to Zolani to pick the children up there and on the way back gathers the older Nquebela children.

Primary School Hall Floor

Primary school hall floor

The hall floor is an uneven, raw cement surface which crumbles and gives of dust. The cement is cold and the dust is a health hazard. It is currently covered with several very worn, old tatty carpets with years of dust in it that never completely comes out, even with vacuuming.

Additional Primary School Staff

Primary school staff

It is our intention to have one teacher per class, although this pushes the running expenses of the school up. Given that a majority of our children come from a disadvantaged background, quite a few of them need extra support and attention. The abilities within a class also vastly differ. On top of learning difficulties most children do not have English as their first language.

High School - Life Orientation

Life orientation is a compulsory subject in all South African high schools, right up to matric. It teaches children many vital life skills. Life orientation is a very practical subject and there is no final external examination at the end of Grade 12.  A lot of our students come from disadvantaged homes we need to help with the payments.
