Vuleka's History

In response to the crisis of discrimination in the provision of quality education to disadvantaged pupils during the apartheid years, Mrs Susan Germond, wife of the then rector of St. Martin’s, and the late Mrs Joy Chilvers, a fellow teacher, established a church-based educational project called “Vuleka” in 1989. Vuleka aimed to address the challenges faced by previously disadvantaged children in accessing quality education, particularly when English was not their mother tongue. Starting with 59 children in 4 classes, Vuleka gradually grew into a respected Primary School offering education from Grade 0 to Grade 7. In 2013, Vuleka integrated with SSB High School, providing a secure and supportive environment for students up to Matric, ensuring a strong educational foundation.
