Bricks & Paving The Chief Albert Luthuli Primary School in Daveyton, Gauteng, has been constructed from Corobrik’s Village Antique Travertine facebricks. The paved parking area has made use of Corobrik Cedarberg pavers. A notable aspect of the school is that the Grade R facility is separate, providing newcomers to schooling life a protected environment in which to develop. “This wasn’t the case previously in many other schools, and it led to bullying of the younger children,” notes Manana. Apart from the large Grade R subdivision, the single-storey school has been divided into class areas, each with their own walled-in play area, and includes 27 brightly coloured and inviting classrooms, three courtyards, an admin building, which houses the principal and vice principal’s office, a library, computer centre, sick bays, two storerooms, an HOD office and a reception area, as well as a multi-use sports field, which is watered by a borehole on the premises. Covered walkways join the classroom wings with the main building, and throughout the school, top-quality finishes have been used, such as granite tops in the bathrooms, solar geysers to allow learners to enjoy hot showers after playing sport and automatic taps that turn themselves off to save water. The school’s tuck shop has its own kitchen, ensuring that the learners have the benefit of a feeding scheme so that they each receive a nutritious meal at school. “We wanted something for the teachers, the pupils and their parents to be proud of,” says Manana. “With the facilities now in place, we can ensure that effective teaching will take place. Through education we are empowering the community with knowledge and skills, keeping the children off the streets and away from the lure of drugs and crime. At Chief Albert Luthuli Primary School we want to give the pupils the kind of education that will allow them to overcome their future challenges without hindrances,” he states. The school has been constructed in a relatively new area of Daveyton where previously no schools were available to cater for the community’s educational needs. In fact, 950 of the learners were accommodated in portable classrooms at the nearby secondary school prior to taking occupation of the new facility. By involving the residents in this growing community, and giving them a sense of ownership of the school, this highly successful project could be a catalyst for positive growth in the area, and the humble facebrick is at the heart of it all. 14 august 2013
