Equipping young women for an ever-changing world
The GHS Centenary Trust
The educational ethos at Pietermaritzburg Girls’ High School is probably closest to that of Martin Luther King Jr who said:
‘The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.’
That is our goal. What is offered and taught in the classroom, on the sports field, through music and cultural interaction, through reading and books – through success and failure – is what will spark intelligence and wisdom and will build true character. When girls leave us at the end of their matric year with a questioning mind and confidence in their ability, the influence they can have on those with whom they will work or study should be tremendous.
We believe that it is imperative to educate the future generation of female leaders, to take their rightful place in society and to be well-equipped trailblazers.
About The GHS Centenary Trust
In 2020, we celebrated our Centenary, with a focus on elevating the standard of our school through our Trust. The GHS Centenary Trust Fund was officially launched in 2022.
