Offered in Option 2 as an alternative to Afrikaans, French (for "immigrants" only).
Pupils should have a keen desire to develop their ability to communicate in Xhosa. It is essential that they be willing to spend time and effort practising in their endeavour to communicate successfully in Xhosa.
The course develops the ability of the pupils in reading, listening, speaking, and writing Xhosa, which will enable them to communicate effectively in everyday situations.
Besides the obvious value of being able to communicate with Xhosa-speaking people generally, the skills learnt here will enhance all career opportunities which require one to communicate with people, e.g. Social Service occupations, commerce, industry, law, banking, teaching, and any type of management. In addition, Xhosa is an official language in South Africa.
Human Right to Educate:
As part of the Rainbow Nation, it is vital to understand and appreciate diverse cultures. DSG and St Andrew's College took part in an hour of culture on Human Rights Day as they celebrated Xhosa culture, traditional dress, language and dance. From the Grade 4 girls right through to Grade 12s and isiXhosa Department teachers joined in with joyful songs and gumboot dances.
