From small beginnings in 1988, Southcity Christian Schools (SCS) has developed into what we believe is the leading school on the South Coast of KZN. Set on pristine, neat grounds with a magnificent view overlooking the Indian Ocean, we are indeed privileged to watch the whales at play and savor the ocean breeze daily. Incredible, yet true.
SCS Junior Primary provides learning opportunities for learners from Grade R to Grade 3, which form a Christian worldview. We provide a highly committed team who are responsible for creating and providing a safe, loving and stimulating environment conducive to learning. Specialized staff are responsible for Physical Education, Music theory and a fully developed musical program, Computer Literacy and Afrikaans First Additional Language.
We offer two classes per grade and numbers are restricted to twenty five with the exception of Grade R, where class sizes are capped at twenty per class. Our classroom facilities are bright and inviting and a small, stimulating play area facilitates outdoor teaching.
Grade R Daily program: Our Grade R (reception year) forms the foundation stone for the future learning in the Junior Primary. The Grade R operates on an open plan system and is specifically developed to incorporate a balance between free-play and structured activities. Our focus is to provide opportunities to develop skills in all areas, namely, physical, emotional, social, cognitive and spiritual. This important year not only lays the foundations for pre-reading, pre-writing, and pre-mathematics skills, but also develops organizational skills and independence, which are essential for progression into Grade One. Children attending our Grade R are fully integrated into our sport program, however they are not involved in afternoon sport.

Junior Primary Timetable: Each class teacher is responsible for her class and a firm relationship is built between them. Each grade follows time allocations for the specific learning areas: English Home Language, Mathematics, Life Skills and Afrikaans First Additional Language. Each grade is privileged to have the aid of a teacher assistant offering the opportunity for group work and focusing on practical exploration and personal interaction.
Seven levels of competence have been described for all subjects as listed in the National Curriculum Statement document (NCS). Teachers record and report Learners’ performance levels in terms of the achievement descriptors.
At Southcity, the Junior Primary receive two written reports. These are issued at the end of the second term and at the end of the year. Parent-Teacher interviews are held at the end of the first and third terms each year. These compulsory meetings thus replace the written report and form a vital part of parent-teacher communication.
Promotion is based on the NCS National Policy Documents.
