FEDSAS had the opportunity to test the online admission system on 15 May 2019 on behalf of our members. We can further report that the system underwent major changes based on our input, confirming that GDE acknowledges the deficiencies that we reported earlier. Based on our interaction with GDE it was agreed with GDE to postpone the process with one week and that it is now going live on 20 May 2019. The changes to the system and the results of our testing convinced us that the system is ready to launch at 08:00 on 20 May. Parents are encouraged to use the system.
Uitsig Primary School will he having a CULTURAL CONCERT. All our learners are invited to participate in this concert. The aim of the concert is to show off our diverse cultures and to promote the African Languages at our school. Our school is one of the first in the area to introduce African Languages into the school as a second language.
A 2009 survey conducted by a Uitsig Primary School on the implementation of Indigenous languages at Primary School level has culminated in the milestone launch of the first designated African languages classroom at a Government school in Centurion.
The first official iSizulu and Setswana classes were started by Uitsig Primary School Governing Body in January 2013. The languages were initially offered as extra-curricular disciplines however, with learner interest and growth in enrolments, it was concluded that they would form part of the main school curricular i.e. fully examinable subjects.
