Nurturing a Love for Learning

Delivering quality education through the CAPS curriculum while inspiring every learner to achieve their full potential.

At St Theresa’s Convent School, we provide a balanced and engaging academic programme from Grade 00 to Grade 7. Following the CAPS curriculum, we strive to develop confident, independent learners through high-quality teaching, meaningful learning experiences, and individual support.

Our classrooms foster curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, and a love of learning, preparing learners for success both inside and outside the classroom.

Learner progress is assessed in accordance with the CAPS curriculum through a combination of formal and informal assessments. Regular feedback and reporting ensure that parents remain informed about their child’s academic development throughout the year.

Where additional support is needed, the school arranges progress meetings with parents to discuss concerns, identify areas for improvement, and work together to support each learner’s success. We also host information evenings, providing parents with the opportunity to discuss their child’s progress with teachers and view their child’s classwork and assessment books.

We value the partnership between home and school. Parents who have any questions or concerns are encouraged to contact the school office via email to arrange a meeting with the relevant teacher or teachers.
