Dit is die visie van Paul Roos Gimnasium om ‘n leidinggewende, gerespekteerde en relevante seunshoërskool vir Suid Afrika te wees.
Dié visie word nagestreef deur onder meer professionele onderrig van die hoogste gehalte aan te bied, om leerders toe te rus met die akademiese kennis en lewensvaardighede wat uitnemendheid en sukses in die samelewing verseker.
’n Gebalanseerde benadering tot akademie, kultuur- en sportaktiwiteite word nagestreef en uitnemendheid word op alle gebiede bevorder. Die prestasies van sy leerders, alumni en personeel, binne en buite skoolverband, word deurentyd beklemtoon om as voorbeeld te dien.
Academic success positively impacts behaviour and social interactions with peer groups and family members. Successful students develop reading, writing and thinking skills which are beneficial in the future.
Academically sound students have better employment qualities, they can look forward to a higher income, normally enjoy higher self-esteem and self-confidence, tend to suffer lower levels of anxiety and depression, and are less likely to engage in substance abuse.
Akademiese geletterdheid is van groot belang vir kritiese denke en om logies en sistematies te redeneer in terme van jou eie en ander se kundigheid. Dit bemagtig jou om onderskeid te kan tref tussen waar en onwaar, noodsaaklike en nie-noodsaaklike inligting, feite en menings, stellings en argumente, oorsaak en gevolg. En dit help om kennis te klassifiseer, kategoriseer en hanteer, om sake te kan bespreek, bevraagteken, evalueer, ondersoek, analiseer en om gevolgtrekkings te maak.
There are several measures that can be used for determining Paul Roos Gymnasium’s academic performance, i.e.:
- The school’s pass rate in the annual Senior Certificate Examinations or, as we know them, the matric exams;
- School Learners on the provincial List of Merit after the matric exams;
- Winners of the US Vice Chancellor’s Medal, of which there have been fourteen so far;
- Old Boys receiving Rhodes Scholarships for further studies at Oxford University;
- Honorary doctor’s degrees.
