History

In the late sixties, Kutlwanong Township had four primary Schools, Icoseng Thusanong, Marobe and Impucuko. When learners passed STD 6 with a second class, to further their studies they either had to go to Lebogang High School in Thabong (Welkom) or to a boarding school elsewhere.

There was a dire need for a secondary school in Kutlwanong. Meeting after meeting was held to address this issue, until a delegation of concerned parents and school committee members approached the Circuit Inspector's Office to request a secondary school. There were neither physical nor human resources available, however, there were learners who could not continue with their high school education because of financial constraints or because they had passed with a "Third class." In 1970 this group of learners was sent to Lebogang High School to start a high school and because of the perseverance of the parents the school was named Phehello.

A proper Library, Laboratory House Craft Center and more and better class rooms were added to the original building. Waterborne toilets and electricity were installed in the school.

Curriculum Educational plan

In education, a curriculum is broadly defined as the totality of student experiences that occur in the educational process. The term often refers specifically to a planned sequence of instruction, or to a view of the student's experiences in terms of the educator's or school's instructional goals. In a 2003 study, Reys, Reys, Lapan, Holliday, and Wasman refer to curriculum as a set of learning goals articulated across grades that outline the intended mathematics content and process goals at particular points in time throughout the K–12 school program. Curriculum may incorporate the planned interaction of pupils with instructional content, materials, resources, and processes for evaluating the attainment of educational objectives. Curriculum is split into several categories: the explicit, the implicit, the excluded, and the extracurricular.
