Not all teachers had received the necessary CAPS training. The school did not receive the pace-setters for Grades 11 - 12. Due to the unavailability of Subject Advisors, teachers prepared their lessons as they saw fit, and not under the requirements of the Department. Although the school had a functional SGB, it was always difficult to attract parents to meetings and get involvement from them in the various structures. The school also had a serious challenge in respect of high learner pregnancies. The school had adopted the approach that pregnant learners needed to be accompanied by the parents/guardians during examination periods. The school also experienced drug abuse by its learners. It worked in cooperation with its sister departments (SAPS, Social Services, SASSA, CPFs etc.) in respect of drug issues and absenteeism of learners. The school did poorly in the ANA and was working towards rectifying many of the gaps and problem areas identified for improved results.
