Curro Aurora in Randburg offers learners from 2 years a wonderful education in excellent facilities. Welcome to the Curro Aurora!
We are an English, Co-ed school, catering for ages 3ys (Group 3 ) to Grade 12. Our school’s journey has been dynamic and compelling. Ours is an environment that celebrates individual uniqueness so that all who pass through here are empowered to lead
lives of purpose and relevance. At the fundamental core of Curro Aurora lies a real, tangible desire to connect. When one walks around our beautiful
campus, it becomes fast apparent that relationships permeate our educational programme. As John Maxwell attests, “In times of difficulty, relationships are a shelter. In times of opportunity, they are a launching pad.” Our school is Smart and Friendly. While the Curro Aurora learner is smartly attired, they are encouraged to be politely outspoken. Our educators remain available to their learners at all times to offer assistance, remediation or simply to be there to listen. At the heart of these relationships is the earnest effort to live our 5 values:
Integrity
Courage
Accountability
Respect
Empathy
It is critical that education meets our learners in their world. As such, we embrace multiple technologies and, possibly more significantly, are streamlining the key 21st Century skills of Communication, Critical Thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, Meta-Cognition and Motivation of self into our planning. One of the privileges of working at Curro Aurora is being a member of a staff body that constantly seeks to improve its collective offering; this should be the case if one considers the ever-morphing world of our children. We are proud, too, of our Total Education package. It is our fervent desire to educate the entire child, be it through academics, cultural pursuits, sports, clubs and societies, leadership initiatives, enrichment programmes or society-building initiatives. We expect a high level of accountability from our young charges and, having done exactly that, they produce exceptional work across the gambit of school activities. Our learners are truly accountable for their school, just as they will be truly accountable for leading the future of our country. Curro Aurora, therefore, accepts the dire responsibility of empowering the future of our country, today. When our learners return for their respective 10-year reunions, we hope that they reminisce about a home away from home where they had fun, where they were engaged, where they felt invested, where they felt celebrated and celebrated others, where they were inspired to explore and discover new things, where they felt secure enough to try and where they believed that they were – and would be – a game-changer. We have waiting lists in most of our grades. Please apply today to avoid disappointment.

We had a range of Careers showcased by our incredible parents, such as journalism, audiology, a doctor, an author, construction and even an advocate- just to name a few! 🎤👂🏻👩⚕️⚒👨⚖️
We even had our High School learners come to join in on the fun to showcase the careers associated with their subjects! We had some experiments done by our Physics teacher and learners to showcase the career of a scientist, some of our Life Sciences learners showcasing the career of a biologist, and even some of our Consumer Studies learners who baked delicious treats for our Grade Rs, to show them some real Bakers! ⚗ 🧠👩🔬🥯
Thank you to our incredible parents who volunteered in their numbers to be exhibitors and chaperones to help us pull off a truly great day for our Grade Rs- we couldn't have done it without you! 🫶

We are so proud of our Grade 11 learners, Raedon, Austin, Thomas, AJ, Callum and Ethan who decided to truly make a difference for Mandela Day this year! 🙏
On 18 July 2026, Joburg Zoo proudly commemorated Nelson Mandela Day through an impactful alien invasive plant clearing initiative, bringing together partners, volunteers and young changemakers committed to environmental stewardship. ♻️
As a result of a collaboration from earlier this year, when these learners started the Aries Park initiative in Sundowner, they were honoured with an invitation to participate in this meaningful event. 🏞
The Nelson Mandela Day initiative at the Joburg Zoo provided an opportunity not only to give of their time, but also to make a tangible contribution through hands-on environmental action. From the early morning Zoo Trot to the 67 Minutes activities, the event embodied the spirit that Madiba championed: ordinary people rolling up their sleeves and serving their communities with humility and purpose. 🤩
Our learners also had the privilege of engaging with the MMC for Community Development, Councillor Thapelo Amad, as well as a range of stakeholders and conservation partners, including the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT), IUCN, the Green Development Foundation and many other volunteers who are actively championing environmental sustainability and biodiversity conservation. 🌳
Overall, it was a rewarding experience for our learners, and we are so proud of the meaningful contributions they are making aimed at protecting biodiversity, restoring natural habitats, and creating a greener future for generations to come. ♻️
We look forward to seeing this collaboration continue throughout Term 3. 👏
"It is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it." – Nelson Mandela.
