Curro Thatchfield Independent School celebrated its fifth birthday with a 5 km fun run/walk on 1 September. This was a joyous celebration where the learners displayed their dance and singing talent. Mrs Marlene Gerber, executive head, said: “We have come a long way … from textbooks to tablets, embracing 21st century teaching. In 2017 we had our first group of matrics, with a pass rate of 99% – quite an achievement. We look back over the past five years with thanks and we hope that the next five years, and beyond, will be spectacular.”
Curro opened its doors in January 2013 in Centurion with 820 learners and 45 teachers. Today it has grown to almost 2 500 learners and 200 staff. The school also boasts state-of-the-art sports facilities to train top sportsmen and women to compete with the best in the country. Curro’s drummies are currently rated number five in the country. It is estimated that Curro will grow to 3 000 learners in the near future. The goal is to have 10 classes of 25 learners per grade, from 3 months to Grade 12.
