Raphela Junior School — Nurture Excellence for Greatness

Academics

Early Childhood Development

At the heart of Raphela Junior School is our Early Childhood Care Development section — a friendly and stimulating atmosphere where children learn about themselves and the world around them.

Circle time

Circle time is always exciting as we start off with singing and dancing, which helps to get our little ones energised and ready for the day. We sing the national anthem and say a prayer, instilling in our children a sense of patriotism and spirituality.

Self-introduction and greeting activities follow. These help to develop social skills and promote a sense of belonging in both the school and the classroom environment. Our teachers then talk to the children about the theme of the week, reinforcing our school’s values of respect, honesty, kindness and excellence.

Through these activities we do not only prepare our students for academic success but also for success in life. We strive to provide a well-rounded education that prepares our students to be responsible, compassionate and productive members of society — and we encourage all our parents to keep supporting their children’s growth and development.

Kindergarten group play

We understand the importance of play in a child’s development, which is why we prioritise group play activities for our kindergarten students.

Group play fosters socialisation and teamwork, and helps develop children’s cognitive, emotional and physical skills. Through group play, children learn important life skills such as communication, sharing, problem-solving and conflict resolution.

Our experienced and dedicated teachers facilitate group play activities carefully designed to promote learning and growth. From building blocks to imaginative play, our kindergarteners are encouraged to explore their creativity and imagination, which helps them develop critical thinking and decision-making skills.

Learning through play, at each child’s own pace

Every child is offered a range of exciting learning opportunities, stimulated through interaction in both the outdoor and indoor play-learning spaces. Interesting topics are explored by teachers to develop general knowledge and allow children to create links in their learning.

Each child is challenged according to his or her abilities, through activities specifically designed by our teachers to suit their own personal ability, learning style and developmental stage.

Letters and Sounds

Early Childhood Care Development follows the Letters and Sounds programme, which introduces your child to phonics through fun games and sound awareness activities, building a strong foundation in literacy.
