Over the last weekend of November, Oratile Bothlale Institute of Excellence (OBIE) hosted its annual Academic Bootcamp — a dynamic, hands-on revision event that brought together more than 120 learners across Grades 10 to 12 for focused learning, expert tutoring, and exam preparation support.
A Weekend of Growth and Confidence
Held at our Pretoria campus, the two-day bootcamp focused on high-impact subjects including Mathematics, Physical Sciences, and Business Studies. Learners participated in targeted workshops designed to help them identify gaps, reinforce key concepts, and build test-taking strategies.
What Made This Bootcamp Special?
- ✅ Intensive revision sessions led by OBIE’s senior educators
- ✅ Access to exclusive mock exams and model answers
- ✅ Group activities to promote peer learning and teamwork
- ✅ Motivational talk from a former OBIE student now studying at UJ
