Figure 1.--These South African pupils are engaged in a kind of survival course. The children attend Laerskool (Lower School) Balmoral. This primary school is located in Eens Aamheid ("Eensaamheid" means "Solitude") in Mpumalanga province (the former Eastern Transvaal). It is a public Afrikaans speaking school. The pupils attend the course in their school (or sport) uniform.

Some South African schools had outward bound programs. We are not entirely what the programs were called, but we note images of the children or commando or survival courses. This seems to be an individual school activity rather than part of any national program. It may be done as a kind of camp rather than after school activity, but we have few details at this point. We do not know how common these programs are. This may be an activity most common in the Afrikaans speaking school, but we are not sure about this.
