In this hub we aim to teach students aspects of inclusive education in classrooms and identity in a diverse world.

This hub provides a platform for students and teachers to be innovative and use their critical thinking skills to design solutions to real-life problems using Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies and recyclable materials. In this hub we aim to teach students how to be creative by applying design thinking methodologies and how to enhance 21st century teaching and learning through the 4C’s (Critical thinking, Creativity, Communication and Collaboration).

The amphitheatre aims to develop students’ reading, writing, speaking and listening skills.The hub seeks to facilitate collaboration, inspire creativity and promote literacy across age groups. It aims to foster professional skills among students by teaching creative writing techniques, how to write short stories, how to speak effectively and how to listen for meaning. In this hub, we aim to teach students how to effectively express their ideas and opinions through various forms of text

The hub aims to expose mathematics to 21st century skills that conceptualise teaching methodologies through 4IR technology advances. It will enable students to apply their mathematical knowledge to solve real- world problems. It is the ultimate space for students to construct and collaborate their ideas through creativity, critical thinking skills and fun. In this hub students will learn how to use different mathematical applications focusing on Geogebra and how to use technologies like Clevertouch in teaching and learning.

The Science Laboratory is a hi-tech lab that incorporates Biology, Chemistry and Physical Sciences. The Science Lab aims to engage in exciting STEAM projects through discovery learning and inquiry-based dialogue. In this hub, we aim to discuss real life challenges such as global warming, climate change and the Corona Virus (COVID-19) making the discourse relevant to classroom teaching and learning in the current context.

The hub seeks to train students for the new Robotics and Coding curriculum in South Africa. It aims to build creative and innovative thinkers who can solve problems with ease. The hub follows computational thinking (CT) processes, which are the highest order of problem-solving. These processes involve logic, assessment, patterns, automation, and generalisation.

Well-run schools produce better results and this efficiency reflects on the quality of the principal. This hub seeks to cultivate strong leadership and management skills through courses, master classes, and boot camps linked to teacher professional development, theory, and leadership and management practice. This hub covers various aspects of school and higher education leadership and management concepts.
