The Catapult Journey to Success program was designed to address the unmet needs and limited choices of children in the Overstrand. The program complements and leverages existing Government efforts for maximum impact for those most in need.
The program aims to effectively prepare children for lifelong learning with progression from early childhood development through the foundation phase and eventually onto bursary-supported tertiary education with the reintegration of arts and culture. The goal is to create, cultivate and ensure a safe, healthy, stable, and quality school experience for the ECD centres in our district and to remain engaged in the learning process as they progress on their journey to success.
Music ignites all areas of child development and skills for school readiness, including intellectual, social-emotional, motor, language, and overall literacy. It helps the body and the mind work together. Exposing children to music during early development helps them learn the sounds and meanings of words.
