REMEDIAL EDUCATION

Average to above average learners that generally progress well in their school work, but perhaps in a section of their work, or in a subject are not doing well, are good candidates for remedial assistance.  For various reasons a learner may be a poor reader or weak speller, yet do well in the rest of that language and other subjects do well.  A temporary or partial gap that occurred during their learning progress is established at this time and rectified.

The work that is done in the Remedial Class is mostly by individual tuition because each learner is unique with their own problems.  Learners that have a short term problem are assisted at our school and those that have a more complicated and long term problem are referred to the Zululand Remedial School in Empangeni.  There they receive assistance in a class with fewer learners and subjects.

PASTORAL CARE

At Arboretum Primary School we do not only focus on academics but on the learner as a whole.  For those who are hungry, food is provided for them, and for those who have emotional problems there are two counsellors that can help them
