We have worked hard to maintain a consistent 100% pass rate in matric and have received numerous awards from the eThekweni Municipality and the Department of Education in recognition of this.

- Our FET timetable structure allows for eight subjects. As learners do seven subjects this provides:
1) Supervised self-study time where learners can work on projects, homework, study for tests etc.
2) Opportunity for immigrants who may substitute a second language with an alternative elective.
3) Time for some support lessons during the school day.
Academic Support
St Barnabas offers an extensive support programme from grade 8 – 12.
Support occurs in the afternoons as well as during the school day for the FET phase.
There is no additional cost for support classes.
Beyond the Classroom
We regularly take learners on excursions (as well as subject specific field trips) to promote team building, physical fitness, school spirit and to enhance learning.
