Pietermaritzburg Girls’ High School. Pietermaritzburg Girls’ High School recently hosted the official opening of the school’s Centenary gates.
Construction began in May 2022. For six months, staff, learners, parents and passers-by watched in anticipation as the old gates were removed and the new gates took their place.
Hector Molale, the School Governing Body chairperson, recognized the efforts of previous governing body members. Their dedication to ensuring that GHS had the funds to carry out a project such as this is commendable. “We need to ensure that this also remains a prestigious school; strong in academics and sport. This (project) is not for us. It is for the future generations. This great institution is led by women first, and men who are dedicated to the cause.”
From the vision of architect Amanda Lee, to the construction by Lieb Janse Van Rensburg of GMR Builders, to the project management by Johan Marx, GHS Estates Manager, the end result is a majestic entrance to a magnificent school.
“Consider yourselves special then, as today, for the first time, we officially open our new gates and welcome you to come through them now, and in the future. They also offer a first impression of a place and have given our beautiful AMAFA heritage red brick building suitable gates. The new gates were a much-needed addition to enhance the first impression,” said principal, Andrew Graaf.
