Voortrekker High School was founded in 1934. It was the first Afrikens high school in the southern suburbs. In 1992 it opened its doors to all learners, irrespective of creed, colour or culture. Due to the dwindling numbers of Afrikens speaking learners in the southern suburbs, the first English speaking grade 8 class started their high school career in 2003. For the next 9 years until 2011, Voortrekker operated as a dual medium school and in 2012, only English speaking grade 8 learners were admitted. During its 80 years of existence, Voortrekker kept up with the many changes which were implemented nationally and today we provide education to a wide spectrum of learners.

Cape Town, South Africa
The Holy Cross Sisters arrived in South Africa as a missionary order in 1883. Their first school was established in Umtata, providing education for the disadvantaged. Their work extended further into the local community with them not only founding schools all over South Africa, but also establishing and building orphanages, hospitals and homes for the elderly where the need for these facilities existed. Many of the Sisters are also nurses and social workers who are closely involved in working in and with communities. The Sisters opened different schools in Cape Town as well as an orphanage and Teacher Training College (St. Augustine’s) . Many of these are now classified as state schools on church property. The Teacher Training College had to close in 1974 due to the enforcement of the Group Areas Act and its orphanage moved into the Cape Flats.
