The principal mentioned that the school started in 1996 with 38 learners and had grown to approximately 450 learners currently. In 2008, the school principal had to be displaced and thereafter the school had no sound leadership. A major issue for the school was the Science Department which had shown low performance and pass rates. In the past, the school lacked a laboratory and the necessary laboratory equipment. With the new infrastructure and resources the school hoped to increase learner performance and pass rates for Science. For many years the school structures were badly dilapidated prefabricated structures.
