Our skills programme in Grade 4 to 7 allows children to experience many real life occurrences. Our 12 session programme runs with children grouped in “ Family Groups” for vertical age integration. Our children get to learn how to change a tyre, make “Mac and Cheese”, put a duvet into its cover and table etiquette amongst other things.
