That's what happened in my Generation

From Primary School: English, Afrikaans and from Grade Five, Zulu. English and Afrikaans either HL (Home Language) or (First Additional Language)
In High School, as an 'English medium' School we had to drop either Zulu or Afrikaans to give way to FAL

We had as other compulsory subjects since Primary: ''H(uman)SS'', now Social Sciences (History+Geography), Natural Sciences (Biology+Science), Mathematics, Economics and Management Sciences (EMS) *this branches into 'Accounting', 'Economics' and 'Business Studies', Technology (we did graphics and design stuff, drawing plans, food etc *sh*t that was so long ago-this later branched into 'Engineering Graphics and Design' and 'Consumers Studies' ie Home Economics), Computers (this branched into CAT (Computer Application Technology) and IT), Art (it could be just that 'Art' or by a technical term that i must've forgot -probably 'Arts and Crafts' by my memory, this branches into 'Visual Arts' and 'Design') and L.O. (Life Orientation)

By the 10th Grade, we had to take 'Home Language Subject', a 'First Additional Language Subject', L.O., either 'Math Lit.' Or 'Math Sciences' as compulsory subjects in addition to the three subjects you can branch into.

Holy that took a lot of my time typing that lol. It looks all correct by the looks of it

I've been giving this much thought.
There was no L.O. during Primary School. We had PE. Then that automatically became L.O. in High School.
We also had 'Music' class during Primary School. We just learnt about all the different types of musical instruments like wind, percussion, string etc.

In L.O. in, was it 11th or 12th Grade?, we did dance such as the 'Cha-Cha-Cha' and rock n' roll.
No girl wanted to dance with me so I just stepped aside and watched from the sidelines and 'borrowed' a girl from a different skin colour. We also did tennis, volleyball, 'netball' (not basketball as we included girls in our teams), some soccer, and baseball- though baseball is not an official sport here. That sucks because it's so fun!!

In 'Computers' we learnt MS Excel, MS Word, MS PowerPoint and MS Access. And were allowed to go through 'MS Encarta' and play games.

In my second Primary School we had to go to this one class where we did 'Cami Maths', a computerised mathematical program where we tried answering mathematical questions, sums and equations, etc that got more difficult over time. They also kept tabs on our progress.

There was also a 'Library' class during Primary School where we had the option, and they insisted, of taking out books and returning them later- else we get demerited which accumulated over time, leading to us going to detention. :'(
They taught us about the 'Dewey' System and had to describe what we've read. *
