» LIFE ORIENTATION

The Life Orientation Learning Area aims to guide and equip learners for meaningful and successful living in a rapidly changing and transforming society. The focus therefore is on the development of self-in-society. Learners must find a place for themselves in a world increasingly different from that in which their parents lived. They should be able to develop a sense of confidence and competence in order to live well and contribute productively to shaping of a new society.

The Life Orientation Learning Area develops skills, knowledge, values and attitudes that empower learners to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions regarding:

• Health promotion;
• Social development;
• Personal development;
• Physical development and movement and
• Orientation to the world of work
