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 384 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 also 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
•
Products made by our learners in the Arts & Crafts class can be bought
when visiting the school in the classes, contact Magda du Preez:

•
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
