Look at this amazing video (see link below). It shows with great effect how one person can distinguish himself/herself from others by doing things slightly different; something small but with great results. Teachers, take this as an example and find things you can do differently to make you great in the eyes of your learners! Take them somewhere! Click here for the video.

Physical Sciences: Start as soon as possible

Due to the huge volume of content in each of grades 10, 11 and 12, it is very important to start with the work as early as possible. 

The sequence of topics in these grades is the same as last year, as well as the duration per topic. Hence, use last year's work schedule to guide you for the first week or two, but do not print it. We are going to distribute a 2019 edition of the Free State Assessment Guidelines for physical sciences, with minor modifications from the 2018 edition. 

In due course, the 2019 edition will be available on this website (2018 edition is still available) and one hard copy will be distributed per school during the upcoming start-up meetings.
