St Katharine’s Preparatory explores Wonder week
Wonder week exposed learners to mind-opening activities and adventures.
Every year, St Katharine’s Preparatory changes the school timetable for one week, to celebrate a week called: Wonder Week.
On June 27, the last day of Wonder week, girls from Grade 0 to Grade 7 were exposed to a range of different age-appropriate activities and presentations.
The school’s marketing manager, Laura Goldsworthy, explained: “It’s an exciting week where the girls are taken out of formal classes and exposed to all sorts of mind-opening activities and adventures. These include travelling scientists, Hooked on Books, virtual reality, beading, dance classes, and Junior Engineers for Africa (JEFA).”

Goldsworthy added that teachers showcased some of Johannesburg’s cultural gems to the learners, giving them the opportunity to supplement their formal classroom learning with mind-opening experiences and perspectives. “This is a highlight on our annual calendar. We have pushed our girls out of the comfort of their routines, and they have benefitted hugely from the experiences.”
