He [MOERDYK] designed a building that included offices, classrooms, and a hall – all of which are still standing today in near-perfect condition. The school’s distinctive terraces were laid by JJ Kelly, of Irish descent. In 1938, a hostel for girls was built, followed by a boys’ hostel in 1949. The girls’ hostel was named after Christina Pretorius, and the boys’ hostel after Hendrik Potgieter. In 1955, a large block with 21 classrooms and two home economics centres was added. In 1957, the new school hall, named after former principal ML Brink, was inaugurated. Over the decades, as the school continued to grow, additional facilities were added. These included the Varia building (1986), and the Koos du Toit Clubhouse (2006)" |
