Crowning / Awards

Awards Evenings take place annually, for each Grade. On this evening the required recognition is provided to our pupils. Every pupil receives a character certificate on this evening that is unique and celebrates his/her talents and gifts.

Public Speaking

To handle oneself in front of an audience is a very important facet of the literacy and life skills programme. Our public speaking trials are held during the first and second term. Class participation is compulsory for all our pupils.

Birthdays

On their birthday, pupils are welcome to bring treats to school for their particular class. However, we do request that healthy eating habits be considered, in particular friends with food allergies. We usually set one day aside at the end of the year for class parties. The focus of these parties is for our pupils to socialise. Parents are welcome to support the class teacher with the planning of these parties.

Concerts

A school concert will be held every year, alternating between a different phase. As we view a concert as a social, emotional, and academic skill, taking part in a concert/review/play/etc. is compulsory. It has educational value regarding pupil’s growth and development in the above-mentioned areas of their lives. A compulsory participation fee (determined each year) will be payable to the school.

Camps

All pupils in Grades 3 to 9 attend a compulsory camp annually. The purpose of the camp is to experience the theoretical lessons that have been discussed in class. In Grade 3, one parent is invited to join the pupil at the camp for the evening.

Outings

Pupils are frequently taken on educational outings to give them the opportunity to expand and apply their knowledge. Outings also develop their social skills.

Library

At Alberton Stars, we proudly offer our learners access to a well-stocked library, providing a wealth of resources to support their academic journey. The library serves as a hub for learning, exploration, and discovery. With a vast collection of books, journals, and digital media, learners can delve into various subjects and interests.

Development

Leadership development takes place on an informal basis. Pupils have the opportunity to act as class captains, which entails specific responsibilities. In Grade 7, leadership development is emphasised through the election of a boy and a girl as chairpersons. Every term two new chairpersons are elected by the Grade 7 group. Grade 7 pupils are also allowed to develop their leadership skills on other levels at school.
