Being an inclusive school, SGGS also has a class for children, who have specific learning challenges that cannot be met by mainstream education. In this small class, with a maximum of 10 learners, each learner has their own personalised individual education plan (IEP) to enable them to reach their full potential. Although they have their own learning plan that includes library, computer, art and music periods, these learners also integrate into other mainstream activities such as sport, choir and market days. The learners are guided and tutored by a qualified special needs teacher who is assisted by a facilitator.
