How this playbook changes in Johannesburg

conducting school exams in Johannesburg changes where the local calendar, boards, and fee practice differ from a generic weekday school. Freeze candidates from the live roster after withdrawals, block the season on the calendar, and publish results only when the school releases them.

January opening; public holidays and exam study leave belong on the shared calendar. Rand tuition; independent-school levies and departmental fee-exemption processes must not share a vague “discount” bucket. Gauteng Department of Education placement rules and independent applications both exist in the same metro. CAPS SBA and NSC exams share the student; IEB campuses need their own scheme without a second roster.

Scholar patrols and contracted routes billed in Rand. Some high schools board. Hostel leave is not a classroom absence by default. Johannesburg schools under the Gauteng Department of Education run CAPS toward the NSC, while independent schools may add IEB or international programmes. Sandton and township catchments do not share the same fee conversation, but both need a trustworthy attendance and fee record. The year starts in January. Fees are in Rand. Load-shedding does not excuse a missing holiday-master plan for disrupted days if the school intends to recover time. Named facts: CAPS, NSC, Rand, Gauteng Department of Education.

Same roster, different schemes and seasons.
