ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS STUDIES IN HIGH SCHOOL Curro’s unique method of offering Accounting and Business Studies in high school opens doors for our learners. We go to great lengths to ensure that our teachings are in line with current industry trends and developments in the accounting and business world. Therefore, our learners compete in the 2019 National High School Olympiad (Accounting/Business Studies/Economics, Grades 10 to 12) – an exciting innovation by Proverto. Competing in an olympiad is a highly effective way to prepare learners for exams as they are tested well beyond standard classroom tests. This is also a great platform for them to learn more about the study and career opportunities available. Proverto also provides R200 000 in bursaries through sponsorships.

The competition gamifies learning about entrepreneurship for high school learners from Grade 8 to Grade 11. The challenges are designed to engage participants to act and think like entrepreneurs and reward those who finish among the top performers. Participants are exposed to mindsets, habits and concepts useful to entrepreneurs. In 2018 Curro Hazeldean was at the top of the leader board for the week four challenge.
