Welcome
INTRODUCTION:
Alma School’s founding dates back to 1963, when parents of disabled children
formed a care group, giving one another a bit of free time to accomplish other
things. It is now a departmental school, resorting under the Gauteng
Department of Education providing special education for severe intellectually
disabled children of all races. At present approximately 385 learners aged
between five and eighteen attend the school.
We are situated at 407 Eloff Street, Eloffsdal, Pretoria. Our registered address is
404 Franzina Street, Eloffsdal, Pretoria.
EXTRA- & CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Alma School offers our learners exposure to a variety of both cultural and
sports activities.
SUSTIANABLE PROJECTS
We have established the following sustainable projects as a result of our
learners’ successful skills development:
•
A tea garden was established from the potential seen in our disabled
learners’ consumer studies. Our learners, under supervision, assist in
the preparation of refreshments, taking of orders and serving of guests.
They also clear the tables and assist with washing the dishes, tidying the
area etc. The tea garden is open specific Fridays from 09:30 to 11:30, to
confirm dates and to book please contact jeannes@almaschool.co.za
•
Arts and Crafts made by our learners can be bought when visiting the
school in the classes, contact Ilse Ilseb@almaschool.co.za
•
Nursery in the Agricultural skills class. Our learners are taught and
trained in specific skills to upkeep and maintain a nursery and all its
facets. Alma School has managed to successfully grow and sell plants to
commercial nurseries and the public, if you are interested in our plants
contact Andries Skosana: AndriesS@almaschool.co.za.
•
Venues Hire: The school hall, the picnic spot and the tea garden is
available for renting for functions. These different areas serves as an
excellent venue for wedding, parties, functions and photoshoots. You
