How does Physical Education (PE) work at your online school?

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.

Will there be any live sessions?

Yes, there are Live Check-ins that take place every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings for 15 minutes, with Support Coaches.

As such, high school learners will have multiple opportunities to engage with their Support Coaches and peers, enriching their learning experience.

Can I go to university with an Amended Senior Certificate (ASC)?

Universities accept the Amended Senior Certificate (ASC) as one of their entrance requirements. You will need to pass at Bachelor’s Degree level and adhere to all other entry requirements of the course you want to apply for. The higher your marks, the more likely you are to be accepted into a university course. It is important to check all the requirements before choosing your Adult Matric subjects.

What is a Mastery Check?

A Mastery Check is a formative or summative assessment (mainly formative) that assesses learners' mastery of the content. These Mastery Checks are points where both Learning Facilitators and learners can see where gaps exist and where revision or remediation is needed. Learners who fail the Mastery Check will unlock an instructional video. The learner is allowed another attempt at the Mastery Check after watching the video. If they fail a subsequent time, they will be automatically booked into a Mastery Boot Camp.

When and how do I pay tuition fees and which payment options are available?

We offer several payment options that guardians are able to select for their convenience. Please refer to our fees handbook for detailed information about this.

Does UCT Online High School have any physical campuses?

No, we are an entirely online high school.

How are matric final marks calculated?

The Amended Senior Certificate (ASC) is scored against the same metric and Admission Point Scores (APS) as the National Senior Certificate (NSC), which are awarded when a learner completes their matric at high school. The points are broken down into percentage groups that equal an admission point score that determines whether you will be granted access to a tertiary institution. Every subject is awarded a point based on the percentage result of their examination. Tertiary institutions use this system to determine entry requirements for their courses.

Are there additional costs?

There are no additional costs associated with Adult Matric — this includes the purchase of textbooks or ASC Examination Fees required by the DBE.

Although there is no need to purchase any subject textbooks, adult learners will need to purchase the required set work for each of their language subjects. These currently include English, Afrikaans and isiXhosa.
