Trafalgar High School (Cape Town)

Description

Trafalgar High School is a secondary school in District Six of Cape Town in South Africa. It was the first school built in Cape Town for coloured and black students. The school took a leading role in protesting against apartheid policies. It celebrated its centenary in 2012 and is still running.HistoryTrafalgar High School was supported as a direct result of a damning criticism of the Cape School Board in the newspaper of the African Political Organization (APO) in August 1911. Investigations found that the board had created no benefit at all for students who were non-white. The board was lobbied by Abdullah Abdurahman of the APO. As a result, this school gained Harold Cressy as head teacher in 1912. Cressy was the first coloured person to gain a Bachelor of Arts degree in South Africa, and the nearby Harold Cressy High School is now named after him. The school was initially known as the Trafalgar Second Class Public School, and had five teachers and 60 students. The school was co-educational and in the first year girls were just in the majority.Cressy was able to report a year later, in 1913, that a girl at the school had been the first coloured female student to pass the "School Higher". The girl was Abdullah Abdurahman's daughter, Rosie Waradea Abdurahman. The APO report on this success praised the girl, the principal and the school, but it gave no credit to the school board as the school was still poorly supplied.

There is a lot to say of this school and it Rich History...! Class of 2009 I can say my educators went above and beyond investing all the students evens those who were difficult and in a manner that respectfully displayed the core values and heritage of the school.I am the person I am today because of this school and its staff. Teaching Staff of 2009 I thank you for equipping me with the tools to face the real world not the one of systems. Special shout to Mr J... Haiyte... PER ANGUSTA AD AUGSUSTA!
It's a very nice and amazing school and all my teachers are awesome.
Honestly i have only had great experiences here. The teachers go the extra mile for the kids and show genuine care! The school and the people itself in the school are so lovely Shukran to them for making my high school life as amazing as it was
I attended this school and had experienced good and bad times. The educators are good and the school is overall large in size with several different subjects to choose from. There is a principal office and a large play ground for the students.
My sons attend there...Good quality education and educators that go extra mile
We made use of its hall for a district six housing redevelopment progress meeting.
I go to this school not the best at all
Efficient, helpful, and good school
Educationally brilliant
Very good school
