11. Algemene navrae i.v.m. oorname van Liberty College
Soos dit maar altyd met enige nuwe ontwikkeling gaan, sal daar baie gerugte en persepsies ontstaan wat baie keer gegrond is op halwe waarhede of heeltemaal onwaar is. Daarom waardeer ons navrae en gee graag die korrekte inligting deur wat u enige tyd onder u vriende en belangstellendes kan versprei.
Dan net die volgende:
Curro Bankenveld open sy deure in Januarie 2011 op die geoormerkte terrein van ongeveer 13 ha langs die gholflandgoed by die dam. Die skool is ‘n parallelmedium skool vanaf Pre-Prim tot Gr 12,maar begin in 2011 net tot by Gr 8 terwyl dit infaseer vanaf Gr 9. Tot by Gr 9 is onderrig vir Afrikaans en Engelssprekende leerders in aparte klasse, maar vakonderrig vanaf Gr 10 tot 12 is dubbelmedium.
Ons het so pas die Liberty College Privaatskool oorgeneem wat vanaf 2011 by Bankenveld gevoeg sal word op die nuwe kampus. Die skool het tans ongeveer 360 Engelssprekende leerders.In 2010 val hierdie skool dus onder ons bestuur.
Wat die personeel betref, is hulle voor die oorkoop van die skool aan 'n streng evalueringsproses onderwerp en het ons seker gemaak dat die huidige personeel aan ons hoë standaarde voldoen. By gebrek aan voldoende kundige Engelssprekende onderwysers in die algemeen, is ons maar te dankbaar dat die huidige personeel sal voldoen aan ons behoeftes aan die Engelse kant van ons skool. Verdere Engelse vakatures sal geadverteer word. Uit die aard van die saak sal ons bemarking volgende jaar baie sterk fokus op die Afrikaanse kant van die skool wat ons van nuuts af sal moet volmaak. Ook vir diè leerders sal ‘n nuwe Afrikaanssprekende personeel van vooraf aangestel moet word, wat die personeel tot ‘n groot mate sal aanvul.
Dit was nog altyd ons beleid om die hoof, in ons geval die rektor genoem, vanuit die ope mark aan te stel en by Bankenveld sal dit ook die geval wees. Die aanstelling van die nuwe rektor is vir ons ook ‘n uiters belangrike saak.
Benewens klein klasse van tot maksimum 25, hou Curro Bankenveld vir ouers en leerders verdere voordele in wat betref streng toelatingsvereistes, hoë akademiese standaarde, dissipline toegepas volgens ‘n beproefde gedragskode, klem ook op sport en kultuur, toegevoegde waardeprogramme tot die kurrikulum en kindvriendelikheid waar die klem geplaas word op die ontwikkeling van die kind as individu.
Hierdie is maar net ‘n paar punte ter beantwoording van algemene vrae wat ek gereeld ontvang. Besoek gerus die Curro webtuiste by www.curro.co.za waar u heelwat meer inligting sal kry. Ek sal ook volgende jaar verskeie inligtingsvergaderings op Witbank hou waartydens voornemende ouers volledig ingelig sal word oor die nuwe skool.

Did you know?
Curro is the market leader in providing affordable, quality private school education in South Africa.
Curro offers parallel-medium tuition. Afrikaans and English is offered in seperate classes with mother-tongue educators from Grades R-9, and dual-medium from Grades 10-12.
Curro is continuously expanding, and has already identified several sites for new schools around South Africa. The latest school to be finished is Curro Roodeplaat, opening its doors in 2010. We are busy planning for schools at Witbank, Hazeldean (Pretoria), Mossel Bay, and Hermanus.
Curro Bankenveld will be a combined school. This means that pupils do not have to decide on a high school when leaving Grade 7.
Curro is one of the few private schools in South Africa which is provisionally accredited by Umalusi, Council for Quality Assurance in General and Further Education and Training.
