Our Prefects are composed of hard-working and well-disciplined learners who are committed to using every opportunity at the school to advance themselves and those they lead. We delight in their many achievements.
Our learners are committed and are very hard working. We are so proud of their achievements and the accolades they have attained. CBS learners have won awards both regionally and nationally.
We encourage learning through being creative. Art, Drama, Poetry, and Dance are activities our learners enjoy. CBS also has revue which is a type of multi-act popular theatrical entertainment that combines music, dance, and sketches.

We have a fully equipped Science Laboratory, Computer Laboratory, Mathematics Center, and an active entrepreneurship day. These Resources assist in ensuring that we reach our vision of providing a nurturing and supportive environment for the study of Mathematics, Science, and commerce.

Message from the Principal

The school starts from Grade R to 12, through which all grades, it only always does its utmost best to provide comprehensive quality education in all its levels.

Our motto: “Learners today, Leaders tomorrow” proves our authenticity where each learner is engaged in all diverse learning programmes that integrate academic, sports, culture, and music into one system providing a balanced education that benefits each learner as a whole. In sports, we offer Athletics, Soccer, Rugby, Netball, and Cricket are at the forehand, respectively. Cultural Activities we have debates, reading, choir, revue, different types of dance, poetry, and drama. We are also looking ahead in introducing chess, maths competition, and spelling BEE.

Primary and High school sections of the school, our curriculum is well manifested. Our teaching teams are highly qualified and motivated. They are always doing their utmost best to provide the best and quality education to all learners. Our Matric results continue improving every year, leading to a 100% pass rate in our recent result. This is because the foundation phase provides the profound and necessary background, right from the beginning of your child’s schooling at CBS! Despite receiving some learners from other neighbouring schools, provinces, and countries.

We still enjoy the rise and maintenance of good Matric results from year to year. The school has produced 96% in 2018, 100% in 2019, and hope that we continue the momentum in 2020 and years going forward. Quality is what the management is gearing for all the time. A progressive means has been developed for all learners across the Grades. Learners and Parents commit to keeping sustainable results throughout the year. This is done where the class teacher and HOD of the section confirm the commitment.

The school rewards the top achievement of learners, by exposing them to international institutions of the same level and higher learning. The school has successfully taken such trips to Singapore and Portugal, for such missions. The management has developed partnerships with countries like Germany, Netherlands, and Italy. The school management has intentions to develop teaching staff and school management teams in exposing them to all credible leadership and management skills of quality standards that would intern benefit our learners in the long run.

Thank you.
