Socialising at an Online School
Online School Doesn't Have To Mean Isolation.
Friendships that last, outings every month, one unforgettable camp a year. Because a screen can teach a subject but it can't build a friendship on its own.
Every province. Every month. Already paid for.
One of the most common worries we hear from parents is simple: "will my child actually make friends?"
So every month, in every province, Daine College students meet up in person: botanical gardens, museums, hikes, sports days and outings built around real exploration, not just socialising for its own sake. It's where classmates become friends and where confidence gets a chance to grow somewhere other than a screen.
- Fully included in school fees, no extra cost to parents, ever
- Held in every province, so distance is never a barrier
- Supervised by teachers and outing coordinators
- Built around real experiences: nature, science, culture, sport
The Annual Provincial Camp
A few days each year, away from screens entirely, students from the same province, together in person, for the kind of shared experience that builds lifelong friendships and quiet independence.
Bonding, independence and one unforgettable week.
If the monthly outings build friendships, camp is where they deepen.
Once a year, students gather for a multi-day provincial camp: team challenges, shared meals, campfire evenings and the kind of unstructured time that traditional schooling rarely makes room for. For many of our students, it's the first time they've felt fully part of a group, not on the outside of one.
- Multi-day, fully supervised by Daine College staff
- Organised by province, so friendships continue after camp ends
- A genuine highlight of the school calendar, every year
Camp is optional and billed separately from school fees. Details and costs are shared well ahead of time.
All nine provinces, every month.
Daine College teaches online, so a family can enrol from anywhere in South Africa. Outings are organised province by province, which means students meet the classmates who live nearest them.
