Our School Curriculum Framework articulates our beliefs which guide us in the design of student learning experiences for all Clementeens. so that they will be prepared for the future – a world characterised by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity as a result of globalisation, technological advancements and economic restructuring.
