Bergvliet Continuing Education Programme.
Add some excitement to your evenings by joining one of the 146 courses run by the
Bergvliet High Continuing Education Programme this term.
If you’d like to register for any of these courses, you can find our prospectus on the website: www.bhs.org.za under 'Continuing Ed’, collect a copy at your local library, or contact
Katharine Miles.
In the evenings, long after
Bergvliet High School’s 1100 learners and educators have left for the day, the Cape Town school continues to be a vibrant centre of learning.
“We acknowledge the contribution our community makes to our school and to this end we strive to give back to the community by running the
Continuing Education Programme. Now in its 22nd year, the
Continuing Education Programme is one of the largest of its kind in the Western Cape and provides and opportunity for life-long learning in the form of short courses for adults, educators and learners,” said Principal Stephen Price.
Course topics are offered to 3 groups i.e. Adults, Educators and Learners.
A
detailed prospectus can be collected in the foyer of the school in Firgrove Way or

A wide variety of courses run concurrently with the school term and take place mainly on Monday to Thursday evenings from 19:00 to 21:00, with occasional courses running on Saturdays.
Adults, educators and learners stream into the school for their evening classes in the Continuing Education Programme.
The learner revision component in the early evening has made a huge impact, with learners from all local high schools registering for the high quality courses.
The objectives of the programme are:
- to provide a forum which will draw the community into the school and enable them to use the school facilities at night;
- to make the courses as accessible to as many people as possible by keeping the course fees reasonable;
- to be progressive in their approach to educating the ‘whole person’ by giving those interested the opportunity to learn new skills or develop new interests/hobbies;
- to empower the unemployed by enabling them to learn the skills which would improve their chances of finding employment:
- to provide staff development opportunities for educators, administration and general staff;
- to provide learner support for students in the form of revision courses at night and Winter Schools during the June holidays;
- to provide work opportunities for the lecturers - with an emphasis on employing those residing in our community where possible;
- to promote and support local business;
- to keep in line with the policy of the Education Department with regard to the role which schools should play in Adult Education;
- to create additional funds for the school.
All adults, teachers and students can register at the school on Mondays to Fridays from 09h00 - 13h00.
