Curro Thatchfield High School | Centurion

Welcome to Curro Thatchfield High School: Nurturing Excellence in Centurion!

At Curro Thatchfield, located in the serene Thatchfield Hills of Centurion, we are dedicated to providing an exceptional high school education for learners from Grade 8 to Grade 12. We believe in fostering an environment where every child can thrive, which is why our class sizes are thoughtfully limited to a maximum of 25 students. This ensures that your child receives the personalised attention crucial for their academic and personal growth.

Our comprehensive curriculum, delivered in English, is designed to challenge and inspire. As a proud IEB (Independent Examinations Board) school, we prepare our learners for nationally recognised excellence. Beyond core subjects, we offer a rich variety of specialised subjects and engaging activities, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience. For your convenience, a reliable school transport option is also available.

A Unique Campus Offering Diverse Pathways

Our campus is uniquely shared with a private college, providing an exciting range of opportunities. This college offers National Certificate Vocational (NCV) programmes from Level 2 to Level 4, specifically designed for learners already enrolled with us. The NCV pathway presents a high-standard alternative for Grades 10 to 12, allowing learners to confidently choose and embark on their chosen career path directly after Grade 9. It’s a fantastic option for students seeking practical, workplace-ready skills.

Our Innovative Approach to Learning

We are deeply committed to delivering a quality education that goes beyond traditional methods. Our approach to teaching the national CAPS curriculum is rooted in project-based learning and self-discovery. This dynamic methodology empowers our high school learners to explore learning material far beyond the textbook, engaging in:

• In-depth research projects
• Hands-on experiments
• Meaningful assignments

This active learning prepares them comprehensively for the rigorous IEB exams in Grade 12. All teaching takes place in English, and our specialised elective subjects even include vibrant options like Drama and Visual Arts, encouraging creativity and expression.

Curro College: Equipping for the Future

Curro’s dedication to quality education seamlessly extends to the private college on our campus. The NCV programmes are meticulously designed to equip students with highly sought-after workplace-ready skills and knowledge. This means your child can be immediately employable upon graduation if they choose to enter the workforce directly. Furthermore, just like our high school, class sizes at the college are limited, ensuring lecturers can provide personal attention and tailored support to each student.

Seamless Progression within the Curro Family

As a valued member of the larger Curro school group, learners enjoy a preferential application process when transitioning to us from any school within the group. This provides a smooth and reassuring progression for your child. Schools whose children can seamlessly progress to Curro Thatchfield include:

• HeronBridge College
• Curro Midrand Halfway Gardens
• Curro Midrand Sagewood
• Curro Rivonia (within a 30-minute drive)
• Curro Waterfall (within a 30-minute drive)

Expand Horizons with Digital Elective Subjects

We believe in offering unparalleled opportunities. Our high school learners have the exciting option to choose elective subjects beyond those offered physically at our school. These innovative subjects are delivered digitally, presented live by expert Curro teachers. Lessons are conveniently scheduled during the school day, complemented by supervised self-directed sessions after hours. Crucially, these lessons take place in a dedicated classroom equipped with all the necessary resources, ensuring a focused and productive learning environment.

These digital subjects are a powerful extension of the excellent Curro education your child receives, and learners still prepare for and write the IEB exam at the end of Grade 12. Please note that this option is not available to students enrolled in NCV courses at the private college, as their subject and programme offerings are distinct.

• Elevate Education: Engaging study skills workshops designed to empower students with effective learning techniques.
• Snapplify Pro: An advanced reading programme that cultivates a love for reading and enhances comprehension.
• Siyavula: A robust Mathematics and Physical Sciences programme providing comprehensive support and practice.
