Infrastructure evolution at the Stage III schools

Since the  Stage III launch, there have been extensive infrastructure changes at the schools as classrooms are transformed into Computer Centres, data and electrical cabling is laid (securely) and security features added. 

The pictures documenting the changes will be continually updated and available to view on the side bar of the blog over the coming months.
The staff and learners at the schools are delighted at the changes happening before their eyes. It is the responsibility of the ZSP Champion to keep all at the school fully up to date with the latest changes.

Using technology: Parent and child classes

Mrs Bevie, Jamaica Way Primary, has so enjoyed using the electronic whiteboard in her classroom for lessons that she has started a new initiative. She has arranged a couple of Saturday sessions where parents and learners can attend to develop how they can work together on school work at home.

Committed, Contributive and Alert

The Computer Centre Assistant (CCA) is an essential part of the Zisukhanyo Schools Project. The CCA provides vital support to the educator during Computer Centre lessons, supports the  ZSP Facilitator during training and is often involved in the school's extra mural program. The CCA is the first line of technical support in the school.

The CCA is part of the school's staff and recruited from the local community. They are put through a training program, designed by ZSP staff, that equips them to provide a high quality of support to the schools.

Quotes from two Principals about their CCAs:
'Patient, helpful, resourceful, good time management and knowledgeable in his work."
"She goes an extra mile to support us."


The application process for CCAs for the Stage III schools is currently underway, with the 10th June being the closing date for applications.
