Founded in 1905 as Potchefstroom College, Potchefstroom High School for Boys boasts a rich and diverse heritage that continues to thrive today. The boys who pass through the school play a crucial role in shaping and preserving the strong traditions for which the school is known. These traditions are at the heart of the school’s identity and contribute to the unique experience that learners enjoy.
A Home Away from Home
The school offers boarding facilities that serve as a home away from home. These facilities provide a safe and supportive environment where boys can thrive, not only academically but also on a personal level. The sense of community and camaraderie in the boarding houses makes it easy for learners to settle in and feel at home.
Competition and Camaraderie
Potchefstroom High School for Boys divides its learners into four houses: Barnard, Granton, Milton, and Buxton. Throughout the year, these houses compete in the Wood’s Bowl competition, earning points through achievements in sports, academics, culture, and social activities. This competition fosters healthy rivalry and teamwork, strengthening the bonds between learners.

Potchefstroom High School for Boys recently reached an exciting new milestone with the opening of its Heritage Room – a space dedicated to preserving the legacy and rich history of our beloved school.
This room isn’t just a collection of memorabilia; it’s a heartfelt tribute to the generations of learners, teachers, and alumni who have shaped our school over the years. At the opening ceremony, our esteemed Old Boys were invited to step into this special space and add their names to the visitors' logbook. This isn’t just any sign-in book – it’s a permanent record of our alumni’s connection to the school, a keepsake that will be preserved for generations to come. 📖✍️
The logbook itself is set to become a valuable historical document, a resource that future learners can look back on, learning about the many hands that have helped build our school’s reputation and tradition. 🙌✨Each signature is a reminder of the lifelong ties that bind Old Boys to Potchefstroom High School for Boys, serving as a bridge between past and future students.
The Heritage Room stands as a testament to our commitment to honouring our history, with the goal of inspiring current and future learners to feel that same pride and sense of belonging. It’s a space where stories come alive, where memories are kept, and where every Potch Boy can feel a part of something larger than themselves. Here’s to the rich history that continues to shape our school and to all those who have made it what it is today!
