The West Rand school was established in 1968, and is situated in Wentworth Park, in Krugersdorp.<\/p>\n

The school is an integrated, multi-cultured, multi-racial school that caters for a variety of learners with special needs.<\/p>\n

The learners at our school all have various special needs or disabilities that make it difficult for them to cope with mainstream education.<\/p>\n

Our personnel are made up of teachers, Speech-, Occupational- and Physiotherapists, as well as an on-site psychologist.
We have a full-time nurse on call. We also have dedicated maintenance staff, bus drivers and facilitators.<\/p>\n

To ensure our learners receive the best education possible, the school has a multi-disciplinary approach, using both therapists and teachers to assist our learners. Also, to ensure our learners have a well-rounded education, we not only focus on academic progress, but also aim to meet their sporting, social and cultural needs.<\/p>\n

We pride ourselves in meeting the special, unique needs of our learners, and ensuring they reach their full potential.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
