Bursary

Rustenburg Girls’ Junior School (RGJS) is a school leading the way in preparing girls to embrace the challenges of the present confidently and courageously and to excel in a continuously changing world.

We believe learning is important and that the ability to benefit from education is highly dependent on a quality and holistic environment. The knowledge and skills learned in the classroom are linked to the life lessons learned during sports, music, cultural and community service activities. A bursary programme has been running for a number of years, but in 2019, the School Governing Body initiated and formalised a Grade R Bursary Programme to assist and enable learners who are in financial need. Partnering with the parents/guardians of the learner to support this Programme provides learners, who would otherwise not have the opportunity, access to such education.

Bursary applications for 2025 open on 1 March 2024 and closes 16 August 2024.
