The kopje at the old school is firmly etched
in the memory of all our ‘older’ old girls. A feature of the
kopje was the statue of Miss ELM King, Eunice headmistress
(1913 -1924), who was the author of the school song.
There, on the kopje, she saw the boys catching a quick
visit. Today she enjoys a central position in the fountain
of our new quad. Here she listens to our girls’ animated
conversations, inner thoughts and wishes.
The statue is symbolic of the verse in the school song
(written by Miss King) “She dwells besides the waters of
wisdom and of life.”
Any ‘older’ old girl visiting the school will feel proud
that Eunice’s spirit and tradition have certainly survived
the move to the new school.
The wings which make up the hostel – Eunice House – are
known as Lower House, Eirene, Retiz, Upper House, Mimosa and
Kopje. The schools road and walkway system boasts King
Crescent, Posthumus Drive, Sandal Walk and Meiring Avenue.
