ACADEMIC

At Maragon Private Schools we educate and guide children to independent adulthood. We ensure that they realise their full potential - mentally, physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually. We develop leadership in our learners and inculcate a love for God, family and country. A disciplined environment is created in which learners are happy and secure as they explore their world. Our learners benefit from a high level of motivation and achievement, with reference to their personal abilities in a Christian ethos.

Maragon is an independent school in South Africa, registered with ISASA (Independent Schools Association of South Africa).

Our academic roles are:

  • To develop and implement teaching and learning programs that are in line with the best aspects of the National Curriculum in South Africa
  • To ensure that learner progress is monitored through continuous assessment and that each learner achieves to the best of his/her ability
  • To ensure that all learners are properly prepared for success in tertiary education and / or for meeting the vocational demands of the computer generation
  • To inculcate a culture of autonomous learning and individual aspiration

At High School level, both the Grade 9 (General Education Certificate) and the Grade 12 (Senior Certificate) are administered by the IEB (Independent Examinations Board)

The IEB runs Matriculation Examinations which focus on academic expertise and interpretive skills.It is a highly respected examination system which enjoys international recognition.

As a nationally legislated requirement, all schools are required to comply with the regulation of completing the General Education and Training (GET) Examination according to the South African Schools Act of 1996. Grade 9 pupils are required to complete this examination at the end of their Grade 9 school year. This involves portfolio work and an end of year examination. The GET examination covers eight learning areas: Languages, Mathematics, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Arts and Culture, Economic Management Sciences, Technology and Life Skills. As we, at Maragon believe in equipping our learners to cope in an ever-changing technology-driven environment, our school curriculum also includes Information Technology in the GET band. The internal assessment task is conducted in November of each year. There are many positive aspects to Outcomes Based Education and we embrace these.

*Additional languages can be taken outside the school curriculum in order to obtain a seven-subject pass should a candidate be exempted from taking Afrikaans due to immigrant status as granted by the IEB.

Matriculation Requirements

Maragon is at the cutting edge of education. We stand at the brink of an exciting change in the National Curriculum: In 2012 the CAPS document makes changes to the curriculum. Here is a summary of the information contained in the Overview and the Qualifications and Assessment Policy Framework documents, presently in force. Each subject also has its own document. The whole comprises the National Curriculum Statement Grades 10-12 (Schools) consisting of 57 subjects which was implemented in Grade 10 in 2006.

Rules of Combination

To obtain an FETC (General) a candidate must offer the following components:

  • A Fundamental Learning Component comprising:
    • Two languages, one being a Home Language and the other being a Home or First Additional Language, provided that one of the two languages is the language of learning and teaching (LOLT)
    • Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy
    • Life Orientation
  • An Elective Learning Component comprising at least three subjects selected from any learning field.

Maragon firmly believes that our parent and learner bodies need to be well-informed. Information evenings explaining the FET system are held annually. Our success is dependent on constant planning, research and evaluation. Our teaching and learning methodologies are regularly revisited to provide best educational practices. Our teachers are highly qualified, experienced, innovative and caring, nourishing the young minds of our future leaders.

Knowledge is the power and wisdom is the key that will open up our hearts and set our spirits free!
