The Grade 11 Nazi eugenics project asked pupils to

engage with the origins and implementation of racist
and eugenicist ideas in Nazi Germany. Pupils had

attended an outing at the Cape Town Holocaust and
Genocide Centre and engaged with a presentation on

the Nazi's ideas of eugenics. The pupils worked in pairs
to create an online exhibition experience which allowed
them to think about issues of curatorship. They also

needed to write a personal reflection on the process of
working on this difficult history.

The Grade 10 heritage project gave pupils the

opportunity to research a family heirloom. They also
needed to engage with how historians think about

objects as historical sources and the impact of material
culture on our understanding of history.

The Grade 9 Social Science students presented their
PBLs linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals

(SDGs). They have been working on researching one of
the SDGs and then developing an action plan which

would allow them to contribute towards the
achievement of one of the SDGs.
