What this means

The Vocational Phase at Elsen Academy is an alternative educational pathway for learners aged 10 to 19 who thrive through hands-on, practical learning rather than traditional academics. It offers an adapted CAPS curriculum focusing on functional skills in English, mathematics, life skills, consumer studies, digital literacy, and practical trades like woodwork. The phase integrates therapeutic support including rhythmic writing, Neuronet, and emotional-behavioural therapy, with daily use of educational tools like Reading Eggs and Mathletics. Learners are supported by a dedicated team including Mrs Andrea Thomas, Mrs Lee Plaatjies, and Miss Anelka Jacobs, and remain integrated into the wider school community.
