Pietermaritzburg Girls’ High School was originally housed in a Victorian-style family mansion, Morningside, which was the home of Peter and Mary Davis. Education for women during this period was not common and the founders of the school were uncertain of its viability. However, as the number of girls continued to grow, a bigger and better school building was needed. Designed in the style of Sir Herbert Baker, the new school building was opened in 1925 and remains the heart of the school despite the many additions that have taken place over the years. The original red-brick building, which faces Alexandra Road, has been declared a National Monument. Today, GHS is a leading…

Here we briefly outline the history and heritage of Port Rex. Port Rex Technical High School has its roots in the Technical section of the East London Technical College (1928-1968). In 1974, on a suggestion by the then headmaster, Dr. Johan Brittz, the East London Technical High School changed its name to Port Rex Technical High School. The name ‘Port Rex’ has its origin in George Rex, a British sea captain who landed at the mouth of the Buffalo River in 1823. Up until 1847, East London was named Port Rex. Former headmaster Dr. Johan Brittz was also instrumental in the design of the current Port Rex school badge. The school colors, Cambridge University blue, and maroo…

To reach this level, We went through hard work, dedication, and support from friends to mentors from pupils to parents who chose Sheikh Anta Diop College as their educational institution. Visitors to our school have always asked why we named the school after “such a difficult name to pronounce” while others who know who Sheikh Anta Diop was asked, “ why naming a school after such a scientific Machiavelli”? we always answer with risible words to the first, saying “Saint Paul, Saint Oberholzer, Greenwich College, Mountbatten high school, Montague primary, Bezedenhout combined school, etc.. are diffi…

The 1950s were a boom time for South Africa. The Second World War had ended in victory and many returning servicemen were setting up homes in new suburbs. Roosevelt Park was one of those suburbs, built to house the young soldiers and their families. The suburb was named in memory of the victorious American president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had served three terms in office and died shortly before the allied peace. The first school to be built in the area was a primary school (still known as Franklin D Roosevelt, FDR for short, today). Many of the new residents at the time were young family men who needed to send their children to school close to their homes. Shortly …

St Marks opened its doors to 180 learners on 26 January 1999. Since then we have grown to full capacity and have built separate facilities for the High School and Primary School. The visionaries, Bruce and Sandy Woolard saw the need for a private Christian education at an affordable cost to the community.
