Pupils were indoctrinated by the CN world-view through the formal curriculum, which omitted 'anti-biblical' concepts such as evolution, made Bible education compulsory and presented a version of history that, in the words of Dean and Sieborger (1995:32), "omitted, distorted or vilified the role of blacks, 'coloureds' and Asians in the country's past". Christian National principles were further entrenched in white pupils through the 'hidden curriculum' that made flag-raising and religious assemblies compulsory, and further through Youth Preparedness programmes and Veld (bush) schools (Christie 1991:185-86). During these programmes, pupils were lectured on, amongst other things, patriotism, communism, race relations, discipline and the Creation (Christie 1991). Indeed, one of the primary motivations for taking young girls and boys out of the city and introducing them to the 'unspoilt' natural environment was so that, "By focusing his attention on the wonders of nature-the beauty of the spider's web, the symmetry of the flower, the wonder of the cosmos-the child's attention is centred on the wonders of creation." (Transvaal Education Department 1981:23)
