Our Mission
Faith
The Pastoral Care Team consisting of management, our Educational
Psychologists, our fulltime Chaplain and Life Orientation teachers
regularly meet to ensure that the emotional and spiritual welfare of our
community is nurtured and enhanced. The College also affords all its
Catholic students an opportunity to enhance their Sacramental
development. The spiritual growth of each person is at the heart of
everything we do.
Leadership
Reaching out to others gives students at CBC Mount Edmund the
opportunity to realise their own responsibility to assist those who are
in need. Our value-based education creates students who are socially
responsible and able to identify the needs in our community and to
respond appropriately. The leadership style of the College is modelled
according to the example of Jesus Christ and we instil an understanding
of servant leadership in all our staff and students alike.
Excellence
We offer excellent education with a wide range of subjects. Our staff
are appropriately qualified and at the forefront of their fields of
expertise. Our academic rigour is aimed at developing young adults with
the ability to choose from a variety of options at tertiary level. Our
annual university acceptance rate is always above 90%. All our
facilities are constantly upgraded to ensure that we remain current. Our
fully computerised library and resource centre challenge students to
read further than the scope of the curriculum.
Our College Phases
Our Pre-School, aptly
named 'Little Mount', was a welcome addition to the College in 2009
and now you can truly 'walk through life' with us as we take your child
on a journey of self-discovery from the age of 4 to 18. Even at this
young age we start moulding our future leaders.
Their spiritual development is already catered for and we enrich their
lives through play and experiential learning activities. Even at such a
young age we regularly go on outings and every child is taught the value
of literacy and a love for literature is instilled in their young lives.
The Foundation Phase refers to Grade R to Grade 3. As the name
implies, the Foundation Phase sees to the developmental needs of
children. At the centre of the curriculum lies the holistic development
of children and some basic skills. We promote equality of opportunity
and values. One of the most important skills taught in this phase is
swimming since the ability to swim can save your life.
According to Kholo, one of our Foundation Phase learners, he learnt in
Grade R that 'God speaks all languages even spinach'. Even from this
early age we encourage our learners to grow in their own faith. Our
Catholic grade 3 learners are also given the opportunity to make their
first Holy Communion.
Our Intermediate Phase runs from Grade 4 through to Grade 7.
During this phase our learners concentrate on enhancing their basic
reading skills and assessment becomes more rigorous. In this welcoming
and inviting section each learner is given the necessary personal
attention whilst given the opportunity to learn through discovery. We
foster a love for reading and creative thinking. Through the Edmund Rice
Society children are given the opportunity to reach out to those who are
less fortunate.
A number of our learners regularly obtain their provincial colours in a
variety of our sporting codes.
High School:
During Grade 8 through to Grade 12 each learner is given the
opportunity to find their passion and grow their talents. We offer our
Grade 8 and 9 learners the unique opportunity to already experience our
Hospitality Studies Department.
In Grade 9 each learner writes an aptitude test at no extra cost and our
two Educational Psychologists provide each learner with a report about
their aptitude in relation to their subject choices.
Our Grade 10-12 learners may choose from the following subjects: picture

Sports and Activities
We consider all activities
to be as much a part of the basic curriculum as any academic subject.
Therefore all students are required to do at least two (one summer and
one winter) activity. This is meant to encourage students to participate
in a meaningful way to developing the whole person.
In the Foundation Phase we offer arts and crafts, junior bookclub,
choir, percussion group, newspaper club, drama, ballet, mini and
hardball cricket, hockey, mini soccer, totball, playgolf and learn to
swim.
The Intermediate child can participate in the speech festival,
book club, swimming, tennis, squash, cricket, hockey, netball, soccer,
cross country and athletics.
High School students are encouraged, through our Honours Blazer
system to participate in cultural and sporting events whilst they still
keep an exemplary academic record and offer their assistance to the
College and the community it serves. They can choose from a variety of
codes: basketball, cricket, hockey, soccer, softball, squash, swimming
and tennis. The College produces excellent public speakers. Choral
singing is highly respected with a large main choir and a small jazz
choir.
