Summer Open Evening

Our Summer Open Evening is an informal opportunity to explore the College at your leisure and for children to participate in a variety of fun subject-related activities. All the academic and co-curricular departments will be open for you to visit and to meet teachers and current pupils. Grove du Toit, the Headmaster, will address visitors during the evening in the Chapel and refreshments will be served.

To reserve a place, parents can click here to complete the booking form and select their preferred date. Again, if parents have already booked a taster day for their child, we will confirm this by email, so there is no need to book again.
