Tertiary institutions.

  4. Life Orientation addresses issues relating to a wide variety of disciplines: philosophy, psychology, human resource management, law, sport science, politics, sociology, business ethics and management studies.... It is not merely about coping, but also about developing a personal framework and being exposed to ideas beyond the more classroom-based subjects. It does involve the acquisition of life skills, but more importantly, it helps a boy to define his priorities and to make choices regarding the way he wants to conduct his life - personally, on the sports field and at work.

  5. Does LO count? All potential applicants to UCT must obtain at least 50% for this subject. Many other local and overseas universities pay attention to the mark, or require the LO portfolio. Currently the final mark is derived from a portfolio of CASS based tasks, and includes an externally set examination in September

  6. What qualities do you need for success in this subject? • Being self-aware, honest, mature and open minded • Having the ability to reflect on one’s choices and to express ideas clearly (English marks are quite indicative of LO Marks in Matric) • Being organised and efficient about handing in portfolio tasks on time • Participating and showing good sportsmanship in physical education classes
