Programme Description
In 2016, the Bhabhathane Programme Team re-conducted the 2013 Schools Survey. The 2013 Survey was the basis on which needs were identified and the decision taken by the then Steering Committee to prioritise Projects for design, fundraising and implementation. The results of the 2016 Survey were presented to the Principals. The 2016 Survey indicated that while there had been some gains against the original Bhabhathane high level goals, further intervention was necessary. The Principals resolved that in order to bring about real change, teachers needed to become involved in the process and a Project Committee (PC) of teachers was established to plan and design the Teacher Enrichment Project (TEP).
The Design Phase was undertaken by the Project Committee (PC), comprising of representatives from all eight schools and across all Phases. The members of the team are all in leadership positions at their respective schools, either on the School Management Teams (SMTs) or leaders of their Phases. All the Well-being Team Co-ordinators (established and maintained through funding from the Rupert Foundation) are on the PC. The PC is chaired by a teacher nominated by the members of the PC. In addition, each Phase group has a Chair who leads the Phase discussions. The PC has defined focus areas for each Phase. Within each of the focus areas, opportunities are created for three processes. The three processes are teacher skills and knowledge development; personal leadership development and
