THE COSAT ACADEMIC SUPPORT PROGRAMME

 

In the COSAT Academic Support Programme, all COSAT learners attend two two-hour lessons on thirty Saturdays of the academic year. All learners participate in a two-hour Maths class and the other session is allocated

‘GET’ Bursaries

Because COSAT is a ‘no-fee’ school, SERI requires funding for its GET bursary scheme. A single GET bursary can be regarded as an annual school fee, as would be required at almost all high-performing schools. Junior bursaries [for Grade 8s and 9s] are valued at R8000 per annum or R2000 per term and senior bursaries [for Grade 10s, 11s and 12s] are valued at R10000 per annum
