The Grade 7s had their FLP week
where the grade had project-based
activities. FLP is a Flexible Learning
Programme where girls partake
in various project-based activities
without following a set timetable.
The various activities were based
on the movie they all watched titled
‘Hidden Figures’.
After watching the movie, the girls
had to reflect and give feedback on
what they took out of the movie,
how it made them feel, compare
how things have changed in terms
of the opportunities that women
had pre- and post-apartheid era,
and how the content of the movie
can challenge their space as young
girls to be whoever and whatever
they want to be in life without
being discriminated against. Scan
