Our School in Action tours are an opportunity for small groups of parents/guardians and their Grade 7 child to visit our high functioning school during a normal academic day. The tour gives one an accurate feel of who we are as a school and all we have to offer. The tours are scheduled for 09h00 on various dates during the first term and finish by 09h45.

Please note that booking is compulsory due to tour size (10 families per tour). Only a maximum of 3 people per family are allowed to attend to ensure that tour groups do not disturb academic learning during the day.  Booking is via Quicket on this link or use this QR code:

It is so exciting to once again be producing a dramatic production.  Next week the school presents Juliet Jenkin’s “The Boy Who Fell From The Roof”, a story about love, death, friendship, being queer, and growing up. The play is directed by our Head of Drama, Ms Tara Notcutt. 

This universal coming-out tale is set in Cape Town, South Africa and sees the boy, Simon, and his best friend, George in their final year of school. We meet Simon's mother, Patricia, and Leonard, a university student. These characters tell you about their relationships with Simon, supported by a large chorus who help to tell the story. 

The play was first presented in 2005 as part of the Artscape New Writing Programme and has been performed to great acclaim at the National Arts Festival in Makhanda and the Hilton Arts Festival in KwaZulu-Natal.

You can read more about the play in this week's Tatler.
