PINETOWN Boys’ High School is calling on all old boys and Pinetown residents to help the school build an archive to preserve the school’s history.
Dave Aitken, deputy principal at the school, is heading this project, the DG Nourse Archive, so he can leave behind a room full of PBHS legacy, before he retires next year.
The archive is named after the founding principal of Pinetown Boys’ High School.
“The old armoury has been freshly painted and the floor plan of how the archive will be arranged, is now complete.”
What I now need is the money to partition the archive room into cubicles, to purchase display cabinets and shelves and to have signage for each cubicle made,” said Aitken.
Aitken said he would like to begin this project before the December school holidays.
All monetary donations will be acknowledged by him, and will also be acknowledged in the archive itself.
Then of course, donations of photographs, artefacts, trophies, 1st team jerseys/tracksuits, newspaper articles, copies of the school newspaper, Pinetown Post or Under the Pines – everything and anything of historical value to the school, will find a place in the archives.
If anyone is willing to help with a financial donation, or if someone would like to sponsor the construction of an entire cubicle, please contact Dave Aitken on 031 701 5046, 082 321 4961 or e-mail: davea@pbhs.co.za
