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.

A Gift of Knowledge: Alumni Give Back to School Library
📚📚 📚📚 📚📚 📚📚 📚📚
There was excitement in the air when our school library received a generous book donation from one of our alumni, Mr. Basil Kletz. His contribution is a big step in ensuring that our learners have access to a wider range of reading material.
Adding to the spirit of giving, Shongwe, one of our own, also donated books from his personal collection. This selfless act speaks volumes about the importance of sharing knowledge and encouraging a culture of reading among learners.
Books That Open Doors
Libraries play a crucial role in education. They provide learners with the opportunity to explore different worlds, gain new perspectives, and develop essential reading skills. Thanks to these donations, more learners will have access to books that can inspire, inform, and entertain.
A Community That Cares
Acts of generosity like this remind us of the strong sense of community that exists within our school. It’s always encouraging to see former learners giving back, ensuring that the next generation has the resources to grow.
A heartfelt thank you to Mr. Kletz and Shongwe for their contributions. Your kindness will leave a lasting impact on many young minds. Let’s continue to support and promote a love for reading!
