The Impaq Online School’s products and services are aligned with the national curriculum (CAPS). Please take note of the subject requirements as set out below for successfully completing the FET Phase and qualifying for the National Senior Certificate (NSC), as well as requirements for specific subjects.
FET Phase learners have four compulsory subjects, including Life Orientation, one Home Language, one First Additional Language, and either Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy. Learners must then choose at least three elective subjects.
Lesson material and the language of instruction for these subjects can be selected as either English or Afrikaans. Some subjects are, however, available only in English. These are indicated in the sections below.
The Impaq Online School does not currently offer any subjects not listed here.
SUBJECT RESTRICTIONS
Please note:
The objective of first additional languages is to facilitate communication skills. The learner is taught to be comfortable with the language as a medium of instruction and learning, to understand it, and to use it effectively and appropriately in the world around them. It includes:
Life Orientation (LIO) is a compulsory subject for all Grade 10, 11 and 12 learners.
This subject guides and prepares learners for life and its possibilities and enables them to live meaningfully and successfully in a rapidly changing and transforming society. Life Orientation also guides learners in making informed decisions about their health, environment, subject choices, further studies, and careers.
Learning areas include:
A non-programmable scientific calculator.
EQUIPMENT
A non-programmable scientific calculator.
Practical activities are an integral part of Physical Sciences. The practical work is integrated with the theory and strengthens the concepts of teaching. Practical work may take the form of simple, practical demonstrations or an experiment or practical investigation that can be done with household appliances and chemicals where possible; however, experiments can only be done with scientific apparatus and chemicals, which might result in additional costs.
Please note: It is compulsory to take Mathematics with Physical Sciences.
Visual Arts refers to a broad field of creative practices that involve the hand, the eye, the intellect, and the imagination in conceptualising and crafting two-dimensional and three-dimensional artworks that reflect the aesthetic, conceptual and expressive thinking of individuals or groups. Visual Arts offer learners a way to meaningfully engage with and respond to their world. It provides opportunities to stimulate and develop learners’ intellect, engaging their creative imagination through visual and tactile experiences and the innovative use of materials and technology in realising their ideas.
The above provides the basis for learners to develop an individual visual language and line, which is informed and shaped by immersion in the visual culture of the past and present. Learners acquire the capacity to make practical and aesthetic decisions in the development of a coherent body of work and become actively involved in shaping physical, social and cultural environments.
Learners must only choose this subject if they have a love for drawing, painting and creating and have some degree of technical ability and talent. This is a practical subject that may involve additional costs.
Please note: Visual Arts cannot be taken with Geography.
