As we embark on the adventurous journey of 2024 at OPSA, our focus is firmly set on ensuring a seamless and enriching educational experience for each of our learners. Before we dive into the exciting opportunities that await this year, we kindly ask all parents to verify that we have correctly opened the appropriate grade for your child. Your prompt feedback is crucial in case any adjustments are needed. Ensuring your child is enrolled in the correct grade is our top priority, and your cooperation in this verification process is greatly appreciated.

Introducing Coding and Robotics for Grades 4 to 6 A highlight of this year is the introduction of our Coding and Robotics program for learners in Grades 4 to 6. Recognizing the growing significance of digital literacy, we're excited to provide our students with essential skills for the digital era. This program will start with Grade 4 level work for all students in these grades, and we've planned the curriculum to align with the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) by the end of 2024.

Foundation Phase Learners Join the Coding and Robotics Adventure In light of the increased interest and the influx of new learners in the Foundation Phase, we're also extending the Coding and Robotics program to Grades 1-3. For those who were in Grade 1 or 2 last year and are now in Grades 2 or 3, we'll start with a review of the previous year's material. This approach will provide a valuable opportunity for revision, especially given the challenges that come with learning a new subject like coding and robotics.

Enhanced Interactive Learning and Parental Guidance We are also excited to announce the introduction of more interactive lessons and educational videos in the coming months. These resources will provide an engaging learning experience and cater to the various learning styles of our students.

For our parents, we understand the critical role you play in your child's education, especially in a homeschooling setup. To assist you in this journey, we will be releasing additional guidance materials. Keep an eye on your emails for these updates, as they will be instrumental in helping you support your child's educational journey.

We are thrilled about the year ahead and the various educational opportunities it brings. Your involvement and feedback are vital to us at OPSA, and we look forward to a year of learning, growth, and discovery.
