What Teachers Say

“It was an eye-opener on the topic. I didn’t know how to introduce and teach it in the classroom…”.
-- Teacher from Luleka Primary School, Khayelitsha on the Astronomy course
Where we work
Edith Stephens Wetland ParkThe PSP works in schools that serve the most disadvantaged communities in the Western Cape, a province that reflects dramatic extremes of wealth and poverty.  

Our offices are based at the Edith Stephens Wetland Park (ESWP) in the heart of the Cape Flats, situated close to many of the schools where we work.   The wetland is a unique conservation site that has been developed into a public park by the City of Cape Town in partnership with the South African Biodiversity Institute (SANBI).  

The Park offers remarkable environmental resources to the surrounding communities, which are encouraged to visit and experience the rich biodiversity of the seasonal wetland – and discover its secret! At the park, people can walk amongst the indigenous plants, learn from the ‘water-wise’ and ‘medicinal and useful plants’ gardens and observe a wide range of birds.
