Empathy for the community and a reverence for the past are rooted in the school. Values such as honour, loyalty, tolerance and respect are constantly supported and encouraged in all learners. The school has been established on a set of shared values upon which all policies and actions are based.
The school was founded by Dr Grossi in 1998 and is affiliated to Wonderland Pre-Primary School, Train-a-Child Teacher Training College and Embury Education and Training Centre. It is located in the heart of the residential suburb of Morningside, Durban. The original school building was the family home of Ernest and Sylvia Akal in the 1940’s.
Embury has a wide variety of sport codes available to learners from the Foundation Phase through to the High School which take place throughout the year. We have a core of competitive team sports that include cricket, netball, rugby, hockey and soccer on offer from Grade 1 up to Grade 12. In the Foundation Phase we have added ball skills for the Grade 1 learners. All major sports are played on our newly acquired astro-turf and Collegians sports field during the week. We travel to play in the inter-school leagues that are hosted by other schools. In the Intermediate Phase we offer swimming squad and chess in addition to the core team sports. Learners participate in various inter-school leagues as well as pre-organized sport fixtures. We have included golf, surfing and tennis in the High School in addition to a swimming and athletics squad, to compliment the core team sports. Our learners are entered into inter-school leagues and participate in fixtures on a competitive level. Team sports are coached at Collegians, whilst the individual disciplines travel far and wide for their fixtures during the respective seasons.
Dear parents
We are now well into the third term and it has definitely lived up to the notion that the third quarter in the school year is the most action packed and by far the busiest. Needless to say, the Primary School campus is abuzz with excitement, as both the Senior and Junior Primary concert rehearsals are in full swing with our budding singers, actors and actresses being put through their paces by the teacher’s co-ordinating the events.
The first term is under our belts and we have had a busy few weeks to report back on. I had the privilege of welcoming some of the Grade 1 learners and am in amazement at the growth of our school. I have every confidence that the year ahead will be a rewarding, adventurous time for all and look forward to bringing you all the news in The Gift of the Gab. – Miss N Turner
