At Arbor Primary school, we believe in preparing students for the future by equipping them with essential 21st-century skills. Our Coding and Robotics curriculum that was initiated this year, introduces learners to the exciting world of technology, innovation, and problem-solving.
The Department of Education made us a pilot school for the Grade R – 3 CAPS syllabus which will only be fully rolled out to other school in 2026. This puts our children a step ahead and above the rest.
From the basics of computer programming to building and programming robots, students engage in hands-on learning that encourages creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork. Using platforms such as Resolute Education, Micro: bit, Scratch, Python, Arduino, and LEGO® Education kits for our extra mural Lego Robotics, students explore concepts in computer science, automation, and artificial intelligence in a fun, interactive environment.
Our curriculum supports all skill levels — from beginners (our novice learners) with no prior experience to advanced learners interested in pursuing tech careers. Whether designing a game, coding a mobile app, or building a robot that can solve a maze, students gain real-world skills that inspire confidence and innovation.
We proudly support participation in Coding and Robotics Competitions, providing our students with opportunities to showcase their talents and connect with the broader STEM community.
