Programmes & Initiatives

Four ways we support learning

From homework help to travelling bookclubs, each programme meets a different need — but they all work toward the same goal.

After School Learner Support

After School Learner Support

Homework help and specialised classes, every school day.

Our tutors are with learners every day after school, helping with homework and projects.

Specialised English, Writing and Maths classes run from the fundamentals through to more complex lessons, designed for learners of different capabilities.

Twice a week, we take learners to the Drieziek Community Library.

Our goal is simple: quality teaching methods that produce quality learners.

Read Academy SA

Read Academy SA

Competitions and book donations that put reading first.

Read Academy SA is where our advocacy work comes to life, through regional Essay Competitions and Academic Olympics that promote learning.

We donate books to people and centres such as children's orphanages and ECDs, so more people have access to reading materials and information.

Bookamoso Bookclub

Bookamoso Bookclub

A travelling bookclub that meets people where they are.

Bookamoso Bookclub's core purpose is to promote reading in public places and to encourage the public to adopt reading as a habit and a hobby.

Our reading road shows are open to all members of the public.

As a dynamic bookclub, we go where people are: parks, taxi ranks, train stations, restaurants, malls and other public spaces.

Itataise Visual Arts Club

Itataise Visual Arts Club

Art lessons, mentorship and exhibitions for young artists.

Itataise starts a conversation about careers and opportunities versus talent, developing the budding artistic talent we know exists in our community.

We provide art lessons, workshops, mentorship and competitions to inspire young artists and change the negative narrative around Orange Farm.

People learn differently — not every child's strength is academic, and Itataise stands on that realisation.

We host art competitions, working toward a major Youth Art Exhibition in Orange Farm, and one day a permanent art gallery and studio for young artists.
