All students will spend around 9 (nine) consecutive days at a school of their choice after registration but before lectures commence, see the PGCE year planner to confirm the dates. During that period, students should actively observe and enquire about the learning areas they plan to teach on qualification. All students have been given detailed instructions of what they are expected to do during this period, contained in an ‘observation booklet.’ There is NO expectation that students will teach classes during this period.

Students will be expected to find their own school for observation, therefore, the principal of the desired school should be contacted timeously.  The letter of observation request will be provided to the student around December (of the year that your PGCE application was made).

Teaching Practice/School Experience - the School Experience is where our students attend a Teaching Practice (TP) period by spending time within the schooling system. The period will be communicated via the PGCE programme year planner. TP placements are arranged by the department. However, we do take suggestions of schools from students by means of an online survey (email requests are not accepted).

TP has to be done with a TP partner (fellow PGCE student) as allocations are made to two or more students per school for the purpose of safety as well as per area covered by a TP supervisor.

If you are doing an internship at a school during the year of your PGCE, you will automatically be placed at that school – please state this in your online TP survey.

Students who are based in Residences will have a preference for the Rondebosch schools.

TP may only be done at one school (during the COVID-19 context)

All teaching subjects are referred to as methods courses during the PGCE. i.e. if a student had done both English (at least 60 credits) and History (at least 60 credits) during their undergrad, the student will be eligible to do the English and History methods courses during the PGCE programme.
