Girls High recognised as one of the leading schools in SA
Forefront of girls’ education since its establishment in 1902. Their motto is "We Work in Hope".
Pretoria High School for Girls has been at the forefront of girls’ education since its establishment in 1902.
The founding headmistress, Miss Edith Aitken, gave the school the motto Prosit Spes Labori – We Work in Hope.
PHSG has since been recognised as one of the leading schools in South Africa, largely due to the fact that learners are given a comprehensive education.
Emphasis is not only on academics, as the girls are encouraged to participate and excel in the vast array of activities offered by the school, be they cultural, sporting or community-oriented.
This all-encompassing education gives girls the opportunity to develop to their full potential as responsible adults with sound values and clear goals.
The school is fortunate to have marvellous facilities that are continuously improved upon.
“The achievements of our Old Girls are noteworthy and span a variety of professions from Olympic sportswomen to well-known professors, journalists, actors, artists and composers.”
For the past 119 years, parents have selected Pretoria High School for Girls as the school of choice for their daughters.
In short, PHSG aims to give learners access to unique experiences that will help them develop into a well-educated, well-rounded, happy and healthy young woman.
