History

The school began as a primary school in 1997 with one form, and then in 1998 it opened a high school.[1][3] The school initially had capacity for 75 students and had only seven teachers. The school now has more than 600 students and more than 50 staff.[1]

Haircut controversy

In 2017, the school caused controversy by sending a memo to parents of black students informing them that afro haircuts would not be allowed.[4] The school reversed the decision after an intervention by actor Donald Molosi.[5]
