School Facilities
Boarding Facilities at Holmeside School are run for learners who do not live near the school or those whose parents, on the advice of the school, feel that they will greatly benefit boarding at the school due to accelerated social interactions, confidence building and life skills training.
We have been offering training in Computer Application Skills covering the modern computer packages that aims at helping students in becoming modern technologists as they prepare to advance in their career or join the modern workplace
When training vocational courses, we first assess our students to determine their interest on the available areas of specialization & parents advised on the child’s placement depending on their levels of ability to tap and further nurture their talents. We engage students in the following vocations: Hair and Beauty, Wood Work, I.C.T, Creative Arts & Craft, Swimming and Music.
We have spacious environment where children experience unstructured play, and this not only supporting their physical health but also increasing their chances to succeed in the classroom. While kids explore school playgrounds they are building important life skills that will eventually help children become effective thinkers, leaders and collaborators.
Swimming is a key life skill as it gives children the ability to avert potentially life threating situations. Swimming helps children with special needs develop self esteem and confidence further promoting independent living. Swimming also acts as an important aqua-therapy and helps children with sensory processing disorder to regulate and integrate their senses.
To help accommodate the needs of parents who live some distance away, or who cannot travel easily to drop and pickup the child at school due to their busy schedules, Holmeside School offers van transport services for them. Our school vans are carefully driven and both the driver and van aide are carefully trained to address the safety needs of our learners.
