Vanderbijlpark Estate Company (NPC)
At Tjokkerland we strive to develop children to their full potential. The basis of our education is Christian values and standards.
We teach our learners to take responsibility for their talents and rights.
Through mother-tongue education we strive to have our learners mentally resilient and to develop their skills.
Set in a balanced way so that they can cope with the demands of our time
- now and in the future.
With qualified teachers and sufficient facilities to guide our learners in the development of their full potential.
Our parents are an important part and play an integral role in achieving this goal.
We have a baby-department and toddler section (Tjokkerland 1), junior-,
senior nursery school, Gr R, After care centre
as well as a primary school – Vesco Academy.
Tjokkerland 1 has two animal parks with farm animals like goats, rabbits, ducks,
chickens and tortoises.
The indoor playground for all ages and the Tjokkerville mini-town with “petrol pumps”,
hairdresser, police station, hospital, church, mini “Pick a Pay” and operational
traffic lights help the leaners with certain life skills.
Every age group has its own separate playground.
The yearly athletics, big walk and bicycle run are also very popular.
We have a staff component of approximately a 100 people
to ensure the safety of all the learners in a protected love-filled
and warm atmosphere in which any child can flourish.
An integrated program filled with stimulation
ensures the development of babies from three months old.
With our curriculum we aim to develop a holistic child.
Qualified educators in the different departments
facilitate the learners.
Tjokkerland schools are double medium schools and learners come form as far as
Alberton to attend the academy.
Our curriculum even provides for music and computer classes.Other extra
curricular activities such as swimming, mini hockey, mini netball,
mini golf, mini rugby, mini cricket and drum majorettes, pom-pom’s and
modelling classes, develop the learners to their full potential.
We provide practical experience to student teachers form the
various Universities and Tjokkerland schools are also involved
in community projects.
We have a number of “Abba schools” in the townships and provide their
staff with in-service training. Managers of these “Abba” pre-schools are
assisted in improving their business skills to ensure the survival and
growth of these facilities which provide such an essential service
in our poorer communities.
Learners are transported with five different vehicles to- and from home.
Transport is also available for extra curriculum activities.
