Aftercare
The Joseph Gerard Aftercare Centre
St Benedict’s provides the service of a well-equipped Aftercare Centre named after Blessed Joseph Gerard OMI. The Joseph Gerard Aftercare Centre ranks amongst the finest in Johannesburg. Our aim is to provide a safe environment where the boys are allowed to learn and play in a relaxed and happy atmosphere. The Aftercare Centre caters for boys from Grade 1 to Grade 7. It is managed and supervised by staff employed by St Benedict’s. The staff members are well trained in the practice of supervising young boys.
Our Gr 00/0 boys have a separate full day programme.
Aftercare services
The Aftercare Centre is open between 12h30 and 17h30 on weekdays. The boys are provided with lunch and an afternoon snack. They are assisted to extra murals, sports and afternoon activities within the school. Supervised homework sessions are overseen by teachers from the Junior Preparatory and Preparatory School.
Aftercare calendar
The centre runs on the school calendar and is open during the April holidays and the June mid-term break at no extra cost for registered boys. Daily rates for non-registered boys are available. A special programme is run during August holidays at an additional daily charge. The August holiday programme is a structured programme with exciting activities for the boys.
