How to Boost Your Child’s Academic Success: A Parent’s Guide
Building a solid foundation for your child’s academic success doesn’t happen by accident - it’s the result of consistent, focused parental involvement from the start of their educational journey. While most parents know they should be involved, many are unsure what that involvement should look like to truly support their child’s learning and growth.
To help guide you, education expert Dr. Linda Meyer shares a proven framework that is both practical and easy to implement, ensuring your child has the best chance of academic success throughout their school career and beyond.
The ABCs of Learning: Proven Strategies to Boost Your Child’s Academic Performance
In today’s competitive world, academic success has become more critical than ever. The pressure to excel is growing, both locally and globally, with increasing demands for higher education access and job opportunities. While schools play a crucial role in shaping a child’s education, parental involvement can significantly enhance their academic performance. “As parents, we are pivotal in nurturing an environment that fosters learning and growth,” says Dr. Linda Meyer, MD at IIE Rosebank College. “Especially in the foundational years, we should ensure our children receive the right support to mould and cement their approach to learning and their educational journey.” Dr. Meyer emphasizes that supporting your child’s educational development doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s her framework to help parents build a strong foundation for their child’s academic success:
Create a Positive Environment
“The home environment is where a child’s learning journey truly begins. Creating a space conducive to studying is essential,” says Dr. Meyer. Beyond a dedicated study space, a positive environment extends to the emotional atmosphere at home. Encourage open communication, celebrate achievements, and approach challenges with a problem-solving mindset. Children who feel supported are more likely to be motivated and engaged in their studies.
Foster a Love of Learning
Academic success is not just about grades; it’s about cultivating a lifelong love of learning. When children find joy in learning, their academic performance naturally improves. “Encourage your child’s curiosity by exploring subjects they find interesting beyond the classroom. Whether through reading, visiting museums, or engaging in science experiments at home, fostering a sense of wonder helps children develop a passion for knowledge,” explains Dr. Meyer.
Keep It Real
While encouraging children to strive for excellence is essential, setting realistic expectations is equally important. “High pressure can lead to stress and burnout, which can hinder academic performance. Work with your child to set achievable goals and break them down into manageable tasks. Celebrate every milestone, no matter how small, to build confidence and teach valuable time management and organizational skills.”
Be Actively Involved
Active parental involvement is key to academic success. Dr. Meyer stresses the importance of attending parent-teacher conferences, monitoring homework, and staying informed about your child’s progress.“Engage in regular discussions about what they’re learning at school and show interest in their assignments. Children are more likely to take their studies seriously when parents are involved and set clear expectations.” Maintaining open communication with your child’s teachers is also crucial. “Regularly check in with educators to understand your child’s strengths and areas for improvement. A strong parent-teacher partnership provides a consistent support system that can enhance your child’s academic performance.”
Encourage Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving
Critical thinking is a valuable skill that extends beyond the classroom. Encourage your child to think critically by asking open-ended questions and discussing various topics from different perspectives.“Teaching children to approach challenges analytically gives them the tools they need to succeed academically and in life,” says Dr. Meyer.
Be a Role Model
Children often mirror their parents’ behaviors and attitudes, so demonstrating a love for learning and intellectual curiosity can inspire them to adopt the same approach. “Whether you’re reading, discussing current events, or pursuing a hobby, showing a commitment to personal growth can motivate your child to embrace learning and education,” says Dr. Meyer.
Encourage Emotional Well-being
Academic success is closely tied to emotional well-being. Dr. Meyer advises parents to encourage their children to develop social skills and emotional intelligence. “Teach your child how to manage stress, build resilience, and maintain a growth mindset. Emotional support helps children thrive academically, as they’re better equipped to handle challenges and setbacks.” Building confidence is equally important. Dr. Meyer concludes, “Celebrate your child’s efforts, not just their results. Recognizing the hard work they put into their studies reinforces the value of persistence and dedication, helping them develop a resilient mindset and an understanding that effort leads to success.”
Parental involvement is essential in fostering a child’s academic success. By creating a supportive home environment, encouraging a love for learning, and staying actively engaged in their education, parents can provide their children with the tools they need to thrive academically and in life. With these strategies from Dr. Meyer, you’ll be setting your child up for success both in school and beyond.
Navigating nationwide education budget cuts: How schools can maximise resources
As South Africa faces widespread budget challenges in the education sector, schools across the country are being forced to rethink their financial strategies.
Recently, the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) announced plans to cut 2 400 teaching jobs due to a staggering R3.8 billion budget shortfall, but this is only one example of the broader financial strain affecting all provinces. Schools are now tasked with maintaining quality education with fewer resources, which makes creative solutions and efficient resource management more important than ever.
With the other provinces also grappling with severe budget shortfalls, schools must stretch their funds while reducing staff and operational costs. As head of the WCED, Brent Walters, explained in a recent circular, “the current number of educator posts in the Western Cape cannot be maintained.” This mirrors the difficulties faced by education departments across the country, as schools are being asked to navigate reduced teacher numbers and frozen recruitment efforts.
Schools are now tasked with maintaining quality education with fewer resources, which makes creative solutions and efficient resource management more important than ever.
In this financially challenging environment, Everything School offers a unique opportunity for schools to not only streamline their procurement process, but also generate additional funding by getting real cash back, in the form of School Bucks, with every order fulfilled. 1 School Buck = 1 Rand, making it easy for schools to maximise the value of their spending. Schools can then re-utilise their School Bucks when purchasing goods through Everything School. During these tough financial times, maximizing the value of every Rand is more important than ever. Schools can easily accumulate School Bucks. For example, by simply ordering pre-packed 2025 stationery packs for learners, schools can earn more than R50 000 in School Bucks -a critical financial boost in this time of austerity.
These School Bucks can be used to purchase essential items like 2025 learner and teacher diaries, customised workbooks, or yearbooks - all of which would otherwise place further strain on already tight budgets. Alternatively, schools can save their School Bucks for larger future purchases, such as modular classrooms or branded uniforms, ensuring that their procurement efforts support both immediate and long-term goals.
For example, by simply ordering pre-packed 2025 stationery packs, schools can earn more than R50 000 in School Bucks.
With staff reductions and fewer resources, schools are under enormous pressure to manage operations more efficiently. The challenge of sourcing suppliers, comparing costs, and securing the best deals has become a significant burden for already stretched school administrations.
Everything School simplifies this process by offering a one-stop solution for all procurement needs. From workbooks, school bags, educational toys, and classroom supplies to modular classrooms, sports equipment, and school furniture, Everything School handles everything under one roof, allowing schools to focus on what matters most—education.
According to an expert from Everything School, “Schools are in an increasingly difficult situation. With fewer staff and limited budgets, it’s becoming harder to manage procurement effectively. That’s where we come in. With our extensive network of suppliers and expertise in school procurement, we ensure that schools receive the best value for every purchase - all while earning valuable cash-back rewards.

As daar een ding is wat Kalaharikinders kan doen, is dit hardloop. Lang asems, uithouvermoë en weergalose veggees, dít is waaroor Laerskool Kathu se landloopatlete beskik.
Die landloopatlete het die seisoen op ’n hoë noot begin en vroeg al gewys dat hulle dopgehou moet word.
Op Saterdag 24 Augustus het 6 van Laerskool Kathu se landloopatlete as deel van die JTGspan aan die Noord-Kaap Kampioenskappe in Upington gaan deelneem. Een van die deelnemers is nog maar in graad R in Banakleuterskool, maar neem deel saam met Laerskool Kathu se atlete.
Die atlete het hulself uitstekend van hul taak gekwyt en goeie tye behaal, almal is ongelukkig nog te jonk vir die Suid-Afrikaanse kampioenskappe.
LSK se landloopatlete hardloop dat die stof staan
Johané Rademeyer het goud verwerf vir dogters o. 6 met ’n tyd van 5:24. Daar is geen amptelike rekord vir dogters o. 6 nie. Emma Visser het silwer verwerf vir dogters o. 7 met ’n tyd van 4:55. Sy verbeter steeds die NoordKaaprekord met 24 sekondes. Die wenner se tyd was 4:48. Die ander atlete het ook baie goed presteer. Leah Adendorff het ’n vyfde plek behaal vir dogters o. 8. Lukas Visser het ’n vyfde plek behaal vir seuns o. 9 en Leané Rademeyer het ’n vyfde plek behaal vir dogters o. 8.
Baie geluk aan al die landloopatlete. Ons hou julle dop en kan nie wag dat ons julle eendag na die Suid-Afrikaanse kampioenskappe kan stuur nie. Oefen solank vir volgende jaar en moenie ophou droom nie!

Glitter en Glorie: Meneer en Mejuffrou Addie Bekroon
Op 1 Augustus 2024, ’n unieke aand, het 18 graad 12-leerlinge ’n kans gekry om hul talente en passies aan die gehoor sowel as drie spesiale beoordelaars bekend te stel. Hierdie aand was beslis een vir die boeke! Hierdie geleentheid het gedien as ’n breek van die skoolwerk vir leerders en ’n insameling vir die skool.
Al die deelnemers het begin met ’n dans op “The Greatest Showman” wat die gehoor op die punte van hul stoele laat sit het. Daarop volgend was ’n sielsvolle sang item deur Eunice Tatiya. ’n Asemrowende modeparade was weergegee waar die gehoor hul stemme weg geskreeu en hande warm geklop het!
Die beoordelaars het ’n algehele besluit
geneem oor wie hul die helderste van al die deelnemers skitter en glo my hul was wenners in hul eie reg. Hulle het die finaliste op grond van persoonlikheid, talent en natuurlik die leerlinge se modelwerk tydens die modeparade beoordeel. Ek kan my indink watter strawwe tyd dit vir die beoordelaars moes wees om wenners te kies!
Ek kondig met trots mnr. en mej. Addie 2024 aan:
• JJ Diedericks (Mnr Addie)
• Omphile Shushu (Mej. Addie)
Ons gelukkige wenners was buite hulself van blydskap met die aanhoor van die finale uitslae.
Hierdie aand was beslis een om te onthiou!
Die Addies se matriekleerders het hierdie jaar hul merk gelaat met uitsonderlike prestasies en toewyding. Hanneke Naudé, Appa van Wyk, Lindell Louw en Daniël du Toit het almal eervolle vermelding ontvang vir hul uitstekende deelname aan en deurdring na die redenaarskompetisies se finale. Daniël du Toit het verder ook sy merk gemaak in die gemeenskap en eervolle vermelding vir Landsdiens ontvang.
Nog twee van ons leerders, Stian Griobler en Ruan Strydom, het die gesogte ereklere vir Voortrekkers ontvang, ’n simbool van hul deursettingsvermoë en harde werk. Hierdie toekennings is welverdiend en weerspieël die hoë standaarde en waardes wat ons leerders elke dag uitleef.
Ons is ongelooflik trots op hierdie leerders wat hulself en ons skool op só ’n hoë vlak verteenwoordig het. Hulle prestasies dien as inspirasie vir al hul mede-leerders en herinner ons daaraan dat harde werk en toewyding altyd vrugte afwerp.
