As a growing school, we constantly look at our programme and search for ways to improve. Our focus this year is on language acquisition and we would like to share some models and practices we are focusing on in order to strengthen our bilingual programme.

Grade 6 and 7 Portuguese language and literature students have been studying a unit about documentary making and have focused on techniques used in Lusophone contexts to depict the lives of street children. During the unit the students learned about many of the reasons why children find themselves surviving alone on the streets, and the consequences of living in such uncertain circumstances.
