According to the Department of Education’s Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement, the Physical Education (PE) component of Life Orientation aims to develop high school learners' physical well-being, knowledge of movement skills in traditional and non-traditional sports, and safety issues in physical activity.
High school learners will be encouraged to perform a range of engaging activities that aim to develop an active and healthy lifestyle. High school learners will capture their physical activities through videos and photographs, and monitor their heart rates. This evidence will then be submitted to our Learning Management System (Online Campus), enabling our trained Learning Facilitators to view these submissions on a weekly basis, provide feedback, and assign a participation mark. Activities that contribute to formal grades will be awarded marks.

Through these fun, practical lessons, we help high school learners develop communication skills, creativity, and critical thinking, as well as find an appreciation of, and enjoyment in, regular physical activity.

An email with an application outcome outlining whether you have been accepted or not will be sent to you once the process is complete.

No, these costs are all included in the application fee.

UCT Online High School has a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of bullying. We know that learners learn best in a safe and calm environment that is free from disruption.

We take the following steps to address this matter:
Learners, staff and guardians are required to accept the rules of engagement set out by the institution. These rules set out clear responsibilities, boundaries and expectations for all parties. These rules outline the procedures that are followed when instances of bullying are reported as well as the sanctions imposed if our rules are found to have been breached.
‍
Key staff members that engage with learners during the learning journey complete intensive training that ensures they are fully equipped to offer support in so far as is appropriate. Dialogue regarding the issue of bullying is an ongoing part of the learning community to educate each member further, and strengthen their will to advocate for inclusion. Engagements between individuals on the Online Campus are all held by the system and are monitored.
‍
When members of the learning community encounter engagement, which is not appropriate, they can report the exact piece of engagement immediately.
‍
UCT Online High School is committed to working with a wider community of social services and local authorities where it is necessary.

Further initiatives are in the works!
