OUR COLLEGE | GRADE 7 TO 12
At Reddam House ASB we value skills that will set our students up for success, both academically and beyond the school environment.
In a world where there are so many challenges, why not approach local issues with solutions that benefit curriculum learning and actual communities. With this in mind, we've embarked on a learning model dubbed "Impact Learning" where curriculum content is covered, while addressing issues relating to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In this way, students are covering required content, learning valuable skills pertaining to research, interpersonal communication and solving local issues.
In 2019, students were tasked with the challenge of feeding the homeless in the City Bowl of Cape Town (UN Sustainable Development Goal No. 2 - Zero Hunger). It was an enlightening activity, that changed the perspectives of our students towards the homeless community as a whole. This project was awarded an Excellence in Education Award (in the Grade 4-7 Curriculum Challenge category). To learn more about this project, please watch this video clip.
