History

The School was started as a Community driven project. The purpose was to establish a centre for learning as Kaalfontein was newly established settlement. The School was operating in RDP houses which were not in use. In 2001 a temporary structure was erected, then in 2003 the Department provided us with 21 mobile classrooms which are being used to date.
