De La Salle Holy Cross College (High School)

Secondary schooling in South Africa involves navigating a system where teaching happens against real constraints—load shedding disrupts study time, travel to school eats hours, and resources are uneven across districts. De La Salle Holy Cross College operates within this context, managing the day-to-day work of delivering lessons when electricity is uncertain, supporting learners who arrive tired from commuting, and preparing students for NSC exams under pressure. The school's functioning depends on adapting curriculum delivery, managing online learning platforms when load shedding permits, and creating stability despite external disruptions. Teachers and staff work within these conditions to maintain educational continuity and keep learners engaged.
