Paul Erasmus High School is a small, rural school that was founded in 1879 as a combined school. From 1915 the current site is used and the school becomes Paul Erasmus High School.
Every child is important to us, personal attention is part of our recipe that ensures excellent academic results.
Paul Erasmus strives to equip every pupil with the necessary life skills, knowledge and experience to be able to make a difference in life as an adult.
The aim, aspiration and ideal of the school is to educate pupils and lead them to the maximum realization of everyone’s God-given potential.
In order to achieve this goal, efforts are made to establish a genuinely Christian outlook on life and the acceptance of norms and standards that will lead to meaningful and useful maturing.
High academic standards are set and sports and cultural opportunities are created in order for the pupils to thrive as a whole.
In pursuit of this mission, certain requirements and expectations are set for the pupils, staff and parent corps of the school.
“At Paul Erasmus High School, the governing body plays a very important role
the daily activities of the school. With governing body members who
willing to go the extra mile and work closely with the teachers
in the interests of every learner, it makes Paul Erasmus High School the school
where everyone knows your name and you’re not just a number!”
~ Dries Oberholzer, Chairman
Hef aan die lied, hef aan die lied, Senekal hou koers, hou koers.
Laat hoor jul stem, lê duidelik klem hou koers eendragtig saam.
Stel skool in pand vir volk en land,
