Bible Teaching The Bible teaching you receive at Sedaven cannot be equalled at any Government school. It is unique to Seventh-day Adventist schools. The approach to Bible teaching is not only very modern, but also educationally very sound. | ||
Class Presidents Each year a class president, representing the entire grade, will be elected by learners in the grade. Those learners wishing to be class presidents, campaign for this title, much like the politicians in our country do. Once elected, the class president is responsible for class projects, and has a seat on the Learner Representative Council. | ||
Leadership Programmes At Sedaven we will give you many opportunities to develop your potential leadership qualities. We can, however, not develop your leadership skills if you do not co-operate. Always be ready to say “Yes” when you are asked to do something in public or to accept some or other responsibility. | ||
Class Captains One boy and one girl per class will be appointed as class captains every quarter. These class captains have specific duties and responsibilities. Class captains are responsible to report absences, and to ensure that each teacher signs the necessary absent form for learners who are not at school. Class captains are to take the initiative, together with the class teachers, to arrange class outings. Class captains must assist the teachers with the discipline (or any other relevant activity) in the class | ||
Prefects Prefects are appointed from the Grade 12 learners by the staff after polling the opinions of learners. Prefects have clearly defined tasks and responsibilities and have full authority in the absence of a staff member. Learners should show the necessary respect for prefects and co-operate with them | ||
Our Spiritual Programmes A variety of spiritual activities are planned throughout the year. This includes a special week of spiritual emphasis twice a year, Wednesday evening prayer meetings, as well as programmes on Friday evening and Sabbath. Make full use of every opportunity that Sedaven offers you to develop spiritually. Allow your spiritual development to become the number one priority in your life. Live with your eye on the life to come | ||
Learner Representative Council Prefects, class presidents and representatives from each SCA group meet regularly to discuss and initiate issues pertaining to the school. | ||
The Guardian System Every learner is appointed to a guardian teacher. Your guardian teacher will take special interest in you as a person, and will carry your interests at heart. Please stay in contact with him/her, and feel free to share your burdens and concerns with this person. | ||
Choir Be a culturally-minded person and join the choir! Sedaven
usually has an excellent choir and/or other musical groups, which often
perform, away from the school. It is fun! | ||
Music Piano or singing lessons are given on an individual basis. There are sound‑proof music rooms in which to practise. Music fees are extra. If you are taking piano‑lessons you must practise faithfully. If you can play another instrument, bring it along! We would like to use your talents. | ||
