For principals, teachers and matric coordinators
For Schools
Find out how your school can express interest in working with Save The Dance™ to support learners, with dignity, at one of the most important moments of their school lives.
Programme overview
Working With Schools, Respectfully
Save The Dance™ uses the matric dance as a starting point for creating opportunity, building confidence and supporting young people beyond the celebration. Schools are central to that work, because you know your learners and your community best.
The programme is still developing. Schools that express interest will help shape how we work, and we will always be clear about what can and cannot be offered.
How We Hope to Support Learners
These are proposed areas of support. What is available to any school or learner will depend on eligibility, capacity and partner contributions, and will be confirmed in conversation.
Matric Dance Access
Helping learners take part in their matric dance with dignity and confidence.
Mentorship and Guidance
Connecting learners with positive role models and encouragement.
Skills and Personal Development
Supporting confidence, growth and preparation for life after school.
