Programme

Thousands of Grade 12 learners, teachers, parents, principals, and members of the broader community are expected to descend on the Qwaqwa Campus on Saturday 26 May 2018 for the annual Open Day.

This year’s programme will ensure that future Kovsies gather as much academic information as possible. Also available in the Rolihlahla Mandela Hall will be all the administrative services, including Financial Aid, Tuition Fees, Housing and Residence Affairs, the Health and Wellness Centre, etc.
 
The programme will start with the first information session in the different faculties from 09:00 to 10:00. The second session will commence at 11:00-12:00. On entering the campus, learners will go to the gazebos in front of the Intsika Building to get the campus map and the programme for the day.

Teachers, principals, and parents are invited to engage with Professor Francis Petersen, Rector and Vice-Chancellor. This programme is scheduled for 12:00-14:00 in E14, Sedibeng Education Building. 

Learners will also have an opportunity to apply for the 2019 academic year.
