HI THERE! DID YOU KNOW…🧠

CAPS (National Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement) is a curriculum framework, while the IEB (Independent Examinations Board) is an assessment body. 💡

These two concepts are often confused, but they serve different purposes. Curro Online follows the CAPS curriculum, which is specifically designed to prepare learners for the IEB exams at the end of Grade 12. 💙💙💙

CAYDEN WEBB: NOT ‘TOO CHICKEN’ TO RUN A POULTRY BUSINESS! 🐔👨‍🌾

Juggling matric AND a successful chicken farm??? 🤯 That’s Cayden Webb for you - simply outstanding!

Cayden's company, Kingsway Products, specialises in raising layers from day-old chicks to the point of lay, ensuring top-notch quality eggs for its loyal customers. With an impressive monthly intake of 400 – 600 day-old hens flown from JHB to CPT,

Cayden and his team carefully nurture 60% of the batch to halfway to laying age, while the remaining 40% reach their peak laying age under their expert care. The hens are bred solely for their egg production, not for consumption, which highlights their exceptional quality.

Over the past five years, Kingsway Products has built a strong brand reputation thanks to Cayden's strong business and marketing acumen. His expansion efforts have included a new line of poultry-related products, such as equipment, bedding, and feed, making Kingsway Products a one-stop-shop for all poultry needs. 🤠👍

Cayden’s role in sales, marketing, admin, and customer liaison has been crucial in steering the company’s growth. And let’s not forget the invaluable managerial assistance from Chuku and Arrow, whose contributions have helped Cayden’s vision come to life. 🐣📈

Congratulations, Cayden, for making your mark on the small business landscape! 💙💙💙
