Our Foundation

Waverley Girls' High School

In January 1953 Waverley Girls High School was born, at first a nameless infant. The 261 enrolled girls occupied eight prefab classrooms in a corner of the grounds of a boys school nearby. Six months later, the school moved to a home of its own. This was not a very grand home. It was a simple, new prefab building on the Northview High School site adjoining Balfour Park. The grounds were unfenced, and stray cows roamed the grounds at will. The permanent building was ready for occupation in July 1954 and officially opened in March 1955 by the Administrator of the Transvaal, Dr W Nicol. Waverley Girls High School is a former model C school situated in the heart of Waverley, Johannesburg. Today it boasts learners from Alexandra, Berea, Yeoville, Hillbrow and Soweto. A few learners reside in the neighbouring suburbs. Waverly Girls High is proud of its culturally diverse community.
