Location


               Madiba Comprehensive School is situated opposite Kagiso Secondary School they

               are divided by Sebenzisa Street which is a busy road for taxis and cars going in or
               out of the township. The proximity of the schools  creates an academic excellence

               competition, so the community acknowledges and tries to maintain the importance
               and the mood the two schools exude in the community.


               In addition, the school is surrounded by a local mechanic workshop, car wash and a

               corner building  with  three  shops  which  one becomes  increasingly  populated  when
               school  is  out  with  learners  that  smoke  cigarettes,  marijuana  and  this  is  done  in

               uniform  just  opposite the  school which  is  very  problematic for the  learner’s  health
               and the image of the school. However, the diversity in the shops there means the

               community promotes and encourages a level of entrepreneurial ethos or culture to

               take place which be a motivating factor for the learners.

               School Structure/Building


               The school has Four 3 story buildings on each side of the area, 8 mobile classes, a

               hall and a workshop that teaches engineering. The buildings serve as classrooms.

               There  are  two  different  blocks  in  the  yard  at  the  entrance,  one  block  serves  as
               administration and lastly it has a kitchen that caters as feeding scheme. The school

               has a fully functioning lab room for students who are doing CAT as a subject. During
               exams and test preparations there is no struggle, there are even printers for printing

               and duplicating the papers to be enough for the learners.


               The class I’m placed in is on the 3rd floor so learners tend to come a few seconds
               late considering that they walk from one class to the other and they might meet other

               learners along the way and tend to become playful. That is where the class will take
               place. There are smart boards installed for use of PowerPoint and other digital uses

               .The  classroom  is located not far  from  the sports  ground  and  the  netball  court  so

               when they do physical activity it won’t be a problem in regards to moving from one
               class to the other after coming from the sports ground.
