At Southdowns College there is one thing you can be sure of and that is consistent change and development! If one traces a time-line back to 2007, this is all too evident.

• In 2007 the Southdowns College Preparatory and Pre-Preparatory schools opened their doors. All were housed in the Pre-Prep block and the tennis courts and netball courts were built.
• In 2008 the Preparatory was built and the learners moved into their own premises and the sports fields were completed.
• 2009 saw the building of the High School, College House, the additional field and phase two of the Preparatory.
• 2010 more space was cleared for parking and upgrades were made to the sports fields, the College entrance and gardens.
• During 2011 the Pre-Prep opened the Orcas Indoor Swim School and building started on the new aftercare and music centres.
• In 2012 we are all looking forward to moving into the new Aftercare Centre, with Mrs Pat Singh as head of department and our music teachers are itching to get into the music centre, with Mrs Winnie van der Walt as head of that department.

We are extremely proud of our facilities at Southdowns College and have certainly had five years of consistent progress and development. Thanks are extended to all our children, our parents, our teachers, the support staff and Centurus for another year of achievement and success. We will watch our college grow and will continue with hard work, effort and dedication in 2012.  

“ All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or  intellectually without effort and effort means work! ” Calvin Coolidge

Wishing you all a blessed Christmas and a fun-filled, safe holiday!

Pre-Preparatory Principal
