Overview of specific aims and skills for Life Orientation


The Life Orientation curriculum consists of the following five topics in Grade 7–9: • Development of the self in society • Health, social and environmental responsibility • Constitutional rights and responsibilities • Physical education • World of work


The topics in Life Orientation should not be seen in isolation, as they are all interrelated and function interdependently. The topics are of equal importance within the subject.


• Guide learners to make informed and responsible decisions about their health, environment, subjects choices, further studies and careers. For example, see page 52.


• Teach learners to exercise their constitutional rights and responsibilities and to respect the rights of others. For example, see page 104.


• Develop learners’ skills to respond to challenges and play an active and responsible role in society and the economy. For example, see page 65.


• Provide opportunities for learners to demonstrate an understanding of, and participate in activities that promote movement and physical development. For example, see page 15.


The aim of Life Orientation as a subject is to: • Guide learners to achieve their full potential (including physical, emotional, intellectual, social and personal). For example, see page 8.
