OAKRIDGE COLLEGE
School in Durban

Oakridge College is a small co-educational high school set in a dynamic learning environment where class sizes of approximately 12 learners ensures that teachers are able to give individual attention to pupils. At Oakridge we focus on the growth of the individual and provide an environment which helps students acquire basic skills, knowledge, attitudes and values which help them function in adult society. We also strive to provide a safe, inviting, well-equipped and stimulating learning environment which encourages students to develop all of their intellectual, physical, moral, social and artistic powers so that they can cope with, succeed in and contribute to changing society for the better. In order to assist students in their development and to be able to assess that development effectively, the school environment recognizes and responds to the different teaching philosophies and learning styles. Education requires a process which constantly reviews and modifies existing structures and teaching strategies to guarantee that they are consistent with our visions and beliefs. The aim of the project is to collect breadtags and plastic lids from fizzy drinks, fruit juices, milk and other similar products which will then be recycled, in return a wheelchair will be purchased for someone in need. She was very happy at Oakridge and has no regrets changing schools in grade 10 when choosing subjects.
