ABOUT
CURRO ROODEPLAAT
Curro Holdings is the parent company of all Curro
Private Schools. Our role is to establish new private
schools and to back each school with a solid management
team experienced in the field of education. This creates
the sustainability needed to ensure the ongoing level of
excellence in teaching the leaders of tomorrow.
CURRO Private Schools strive towards excellent learning
and guides learners to master curriculum content
creatively by acquiring and extending the relevant
skills. Ultimately our learners should understand how to
apply the knowledge they have gained.

Umalusi and is accredited by the Council for Quality

We are in the process of registering Curro Roodeplaat

registered by the IEB.
Positive
values and norms
CURRO is a Christian-based educational institute and
promotes positive values and norms. Mutual understanding
and respect for educators, parents and learners are core
values. The CURRO foundation is a child friendly school
with a Christian ethos promoting creativity and positive
discipline.
The
empowerment of our learners
Our school will accommodate fast, average and slow
learners. Small classes (20 learners) will enable us to
pay individual attention to learners and to ensure
support where necessary. We also aim to challenge those
learners who can progress at a faster pace.
We invest
in human potential
We invest in continuous staff development. The
members of our executive management team are all
experienced curriculum specialists. CURRO's educators
are bilingual and well qualified, but most importantly,
they all love children. This is important because we
believe that the positive development of a child's
self-concept is a prerequisite for effective learning.
Furthermore we believe that there is a future for each
and every child in this country. We love our children!
CODE OF CONDUCT
The Aim of the Code of Conduct
This
code of conduct serves as guideline for the behaviour of
learners. The underlying principle of the
code of conduct is to modify unsuitable behaviour in
order to constructively develop the norms and values
of the learners as well as the Christian ethos of the
school. On this basis progressive discipline will be
applied to promote positive behaviour and to discourage
negative behaviour. Serious misconduct will be
managed by serious steps, and could result in expulsion.
This document will focus on the steps which will
be taken for misdemeanours, but at Curro we focus on
positive discipline to promote exemplary
behaviour.
The Code of Conduct Constitutes the Guidelines
The punishment described in the code of conduct, gives a
guideline for dealing with misdemeanours. It
may become necessary to deviate from the prescribed
guidelines according to the degree of misbehaviour
and according to circumstances. A heavier or lighter
punishment may be applied, according to each
particular case.
Values and Norms
(The
following values and norms are emphasised)
• Respect for ourselves, our superiors, subordinates and
peer group, as well as the religion, culture
and property of others.
• Social values such as respect, friendliness, patience
and helpfulness.
• A pride in that which we value, viz. our school,
language and appearance.
• A sense of duty and loyalty in all that we do.
• A sense of responsibility towards our school, friends
and family.
• The acceptance of authority and discipline and the
application of self-discipline in all
circumstances.
Knowledge of the Code of Conduct
It is the responsibility of every parent/guardian
and learner to familiarise him/herself with the contents
of
the code of conduct and to ensure that all aspects of
the code of conduct are understood. The onus is on
