THE PRESENTATION OF SCHOOL

The Tone Čufar Primary School was built in September 1961 and is named after the Slovene author and warrior, Tone Čufar (1905 – 1942).

Nowadays, the lessons take place in one shift, for pupils from first to ninth class, in 18 divisions. Pupils from first to fifth class have their lessons in ten classrooms, while those from sixth to ninth have lessons in ten specialized classrooms for Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Science, Information and Computer Technology, Technology, Home Economics, Foreign Languages, Arts and Music.

Physical Education lessons take part in the small gym with a climbing wall and in the big gym which has been recently renewed. There are also three outdoor sports fields for the purposes of PE; these are for handball, basketball and asphalt playground in the park. Playground equipment in the back school yard enables the youngest to play during lessons and in time of after-school activities. There is a well-stocked library at school, and this is also a place where a lot of pupils spend their time before and after lessons. Several rooms in the basement are transformed into a kitchen with utilities to dispense food and with a big and small dining room.

In the school, special attention is given to the promotion of health, especially to active life as a healthy life choice and to the prevention of violence among the young. We take part in the international project Fit Slovenija whose main goal is for pupils to develop into healthy, independent and positive individuals, through sports actvities and games. As far as project EKO Šola (Eco School) goes, the school takes great interest in ecology problematics and is looking for ways to make the young become aware of the importance of the care for the enviroment. We also take part in the European network of healthy schools where we encourage the healthy lifestyle and organize various prevention programmes.

Located in the centre of Ljubljana, the school actively cooperates with The National Education Institute of the Republic of Slovenia, the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport, faculties and with primary and secondary schools in Ljubljana and beyond.
