JENS Primary School aims to equip learners with a sound foundation and knowledge in all academic fields required, to enable them to enter any school, at any grade and to be able to complete high school successfully. We aim to find each learner’s strengths and endeavour to create a positive image by promoting Christian principles and teachings.
A Holistic Approach
JENS Primary School has a holistic approach to education and therefore encourages learners to participate in all activities offered by the school. Learners’ social and coping skills are fundamental in the School’s Development Policy. This is achieved by encouraging learners to identify their strengths, self worth and individuality. Through the teaching of Christian values, learners acquire the strength and confidence to rise above any adverse circumstances and to cope with the ever changing environment around them.
Drama, acting and movement are offered in the school curriculum. Learners are taught skills such as voice projection, stage presence and elocution. A better understanding and appreciation for all forms of ‘The Arts’, is encouraged throughout the year.
Physical Development is included in the school curriculum and is compulsory for all learners. Ball skills and physical education are offered to the younger learners, Grade R-Grade 3. Currently netball and soccer are offered as sport in the first and second terms for learners in Grade 4 to Grade 7. Athletic track events are offered in the third term.
Our computer room is equipped with ten computers with software suitable for teaching computer literacy. Learners also have supervised access to the internet. We aim to develop learners to confidently use this modern method of acquiring knowledge. Power-point presentations are included in the grade 7 syllabus which they present using the data projector
JENS Primary School has embraced the CAPS curriculum and educators as well as learners are working confidently with the syllabus. JENS Primary School is undergoing UMALUSI accreditation. The recent policies and procedures implemented at the school have been most beneficial to the functioning of the school.
