PRE-SCHOOL provides
a time of 'Learning through Experience'; therefore
everything we do in this phase is classified as
learning. Love and affection are given here in many
forms and in limitless amounts. We believe that our
children are the most important part of our school and
their days here are planned around individual needs for
growth – emotional, physical, social, intellectual and
spiritual.
In our JUNIOR PREPARATORY phase emphasis is
placed on the acquisition of basic skills in numeracy
and literacy. Teaching methods become more formal and
children experience a noticeable division in classroom
timetables. This requires self-discipline and
organisational skills, which are taught. The atmosphere
is friendly, quiet and stimulating and a climate of
nurturing is very evident in our school.

In the SENIOR PREPARATORY phase we have been
careful to weave into our curriculum the strengths of
traditional and proven teaching methods to ensure the
perpetuation of high standards along with the positive
aspects of OBE. In so doing, we remain committed to
preparing our learners to work towards meeting the
challenges of nation building and the needs of our
country.
In the JUNIOR COLLEGE we bring together the Grade
7, 8 and 9 learners in a logical peer group. This
facilitates a dynamic, learner-centred environment that
focuses on experiential learning that captures the
vigour and enthusiasm of the adolescent. Learners are
encouraged to develop not only their academic potential,
but also, sporting, cultural, social responsibility and
leadership qualities. Learning opportunities in a
specialist environment ensure that learners gain not
only the knowledge, skills and values relevant to their
community and country, but also the necessary skills and
academic rigour to move with confidence into the final
phase of schooling.
In the SENIOR COLLEGE we seek to promote the
academic development of learners longside their personal
development. At the end of Grade 12 learners, write the
Independent Examination Board's senior certificate exam.
High academic standards and wide involvement in the
co-curricular programme reflect our belief in the idea
of education in the broadest sense. We also believe that
we must prepare our learners for the modern world. It is
vital to give them knowledge and understanding of the
'real' world, and the important choices that will
determine their career values and lifestyles as adults.
CO-CURRICULAR PROGRAMME
The Co-Curricular Programme offers a wide variety of
both cultural and sporting activities. We aim for all
learners to have a healthy and rewarding experience of
the programme. We try to give as many learners as
possible the honour of representing their school.
BOARDING RESIDENCE
In 2008 the doors to the boarding residence, Hill House,
opened at Cornwall Hill College. This facility offers
premium accommodation to 64 boys in a safe and homely
environment. It is our intention that this venture will
develop independent learning and that it will provide
the boys with an opportunity to contribute to the
academic, sporting, cultural and social responsibility
aspects of College life.
|
CONCLUSION
We believe in “traditional” values: Integrity
and service to others, loyalty and
responsibility, courtesy and a smart appearance.
A pro-active Outreach Programme extends the
awareness of our learners into the world beyond
the classroom. The College supports a number of
causes and reaches out to and interacts with
selected disadvantaged communities.
We are proud of our school and the school is
proud of its learners – it is they that make
this College such a special place |
