Ethembeni School in Cato Ridge thrives on discipline, stimulation and pupil activity. Established in 1984, the state-subsidised school caters for learners with physical disabilities or who are visually impaired.
The well-run school has a total enrolment of 300 learners, all of whom board in hostels on the grounds. The school follows the mainstream curriculum from the foundation stage up to Grade 7 and then offers skills training for learners who have completed their academic education.
These skills include agriculture, literacy, numeracy, technology, life skills, hairdressing, woodwork and needlework, amongst others. One hundred and four dedicated and passionate staff members form part of the establishment and consist of educators, therapists, nursing staff, a psychologist and caregivers.
