Vuleka St Francis Pre-School is located in Randburg. Vuleka is a school initiated in 1989 by Parishes within the Diocese of Johannesburg of the Church of the Province of Southern Africa in response to the growing crisis in education and the inability of parents to obtain adequate education for their children.
The name Vuleka means to enlighten or to open up, so children at Vuleka are given the skills they need to reach their full potential. Vuleka is a Diocesan School of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa. We are also a member of the Anglican Schools Association. Pupils at Vuleka School must attend all assemblies and church services, wherever they may be held.
Pupils will not be compelled to take part in practices inappropriate to their own beliefs, but they are expected to attend all school events and behave in a respectful and reverent manner. Vuleka classes are moderately sized (24 28 pupils), and children receive individual attention. Vuleka provides an intensive remediation programme in English and Maths, and also assists children who are over the age cohort for their grade, as well as those with learning difficulties.
Vuleka St Francis is in a prime location in Parkview, central to the Zoo Lake park and the Johannesburg Zoo, offering a wealth of real-life experiences for the children. Children from surrounding schools often visit the children to read stories and play sports with them, building a sense of community and spirit. As part of our extra curricular we offer Ballet, Playfit, Yoga and Swimming in term 1 and 4.
The venue takes pride in its theme based units of work that provide children with a platform to discover and explore the world around them.
Our Grade 0 programme is more formal than the Grade 000 and 00 classes. The children follow a fully integrated perceptual programme that includes both fine and gross motor skills development. We also introduce all our children to reading and writing during this year, as well as computers. We introduce Mathematics through numbers, shapes and colours. Our focus is developing mathematical language. At our ELC we pride ourselves on learning through play, developing abstract concepts through concrete application.
