Grades 1 to 7 are all taught
by a qualified Namibian teacher
and are supported by two or
three volunteers who work at
Otjikondo on a yearly basis.
These volunteers are responsible
for compulsory art, craft,
music and sport lessons. They also
support children with remedial
classes in maths and reading
and take small groups of first
year pupils for oral English
classes, as Otjikondo is an
English-medium school.
In 2005 another class, Wings,
was added to the school, to
cater for children with identified
difficulties.
The school is now so renowned
that each year over 200
applications are made for the
coveted 35 places available.
The school is situated in a
Damara-speaking region and
while it principally aims to
take children from the local area
an effort is also made to include
children from different ethnic
backgrounds.
