The new high school opened its doors on January 7, 1953 with Mr. K.J. Kerling as the acting principal. The school had 465 learners – both English and Afrikaans speaking – and 24 teachers. As a result of a shortage of classrooms, West-Driefontein mine erected a structure which was divided into classrooms and covered with railway canvas drops. While the learners were accommodated in these tents, the education department busied themselves with the building of temporary classrooms. On March 7, 1953 the learners and teachers moved into the temporary classrooms and on July 4 of the same year the Administrator Mr. W. Nicol officially inaugurated the building.
