The school currently had 21 educators and 385 learner enrolment compared to 487 learners in 2012. Learner admission had closed at the school. Some educators were in excess to the post establishment but the school had not yet identified them amidst SADTU's resistance to the redeployment process proposed by the department. There was a leadership challenge at the school. The Committee was told that the school principal had taken early retirement and the deputy principal was on sick leave, due to retire at the end of January 2013. The acting principal who was a Head of Department had only been in the position for three days. It was evident that she was not yet in full control of her management functions.
