  • The primary language of instruction and assessment at Parkhurst Primary is English Home Language. All subjects are taught and assessed in English to ensure learners develop a strong command of the language.

  • For 2027 new enrolments: In Grades 1 and 2, parents choose either Afrikaans or isiZulu as the First Additional Language (FAL). The choice made in Grades 1 and 2 carries through to the later grades.

  • In Grades 3 to 5, the FAL is isiZulu. In Grades 6 and 7, the FAL is Afrikaans. No choice of FAL is offered in these grades.

  • Learners currently enrolled at Parkhurst continue with FAL as they are currently enrolled for.
