Noordhoek

Project details

Partner(s):

Noordhoek Private School is located in a semi-rural environment. The area known as Noordhoek is a suburb of Cape Town, South Africa, located below Chapman's Peak on the west coast of the Cape Peninsula, approximately thirty-five kilometers to the south of the city itself. The name "Noordhoek" was taken from Dutch and literally means "north corner". The values of Individualism, freedom, diversity, personal responsibility, integrity honesty & respect, teamwork & accountability under gird the vision of Noordhoek Private School. The school seeks to provide a customized education in a place where academic excellence is upheld as a top priority. The individualized attention approach at Noordhoek Private School is designed to develop happy, confident, well balanced children who feel free to express their individuality and fulfill their potential in a secure, nurturing environment. Both the principal and teachers have been hand picked for their ability to perform in this innovative nurturing and wholesome environment. These attributes are crucial for the development of an entrepreneurial mindset.

Our Involvement:

SAIE provides schools and educators with quality, innovative learning materials (Business Ventures kits) and the requisite training in terms of content knowledge, methodology in Outcomes Based Education (OBE) and entrepreneurial knowledge. SAIE’s Business Ventures materials conform to the Department of Education’s (DoE) curriculum structure classified under the Economic and management Sciences (EMS: Grade 2 to 9) and Business Studies (Grades 10 to 12). Learners are empowered through the quality materials and effective teaching, in order to develop entrepreneurial mindsets and business knowledge. This prepares them for either creating their own jobs or participating in the post school life in a more entrepreneurial way.

Project Progress:

On 16 October 2006, SAIE trainer Trevor Bagley delivered BusinessVENTURES educator training at Noordhoek Private School. He also provided support with the use of programs in classrooms.
