Grade 7

Overview: 

• Grade 7 is the “big” examination year for the pupils, as they write entrance exams for high school in the second term, followed by their ZIMSEC exams in the third term. Much of the teaching is targeted to these exams, though the pupils are still very involved in sport and cultural activities.
• In Grade 7 we operate a Monitor system, based on servant leadership, which runs on a rotational basis, so that leadership skills are developed in each pupil.  This is a valuable experience, which gives them the chance to identify their own strengths and weaknesses. From this grade, we also appoint the various captains. 
• The two Grade 7 classes go on camp together to foster a sense of togetherness in building a strong team within the group.
• The girls complete a certified Mars First Aid course, and they also have a Team building/Confidence course.
• The end of the year sees the girls participate in an exclusively Grade 7 musical production.
• It is certainly an exciting year for the pupils, which creates a firm foundation for them to move into their secondary education as self-assured, well-rounded individuals.
