A short History of NextSchool.

This cutting from the newspaper describes what it must have been like in the early days at NextSchool.

The NextSchool Third Primary School opened its doors to 206 non-uniformed children at the beginning of the first term in January 1973. The Headmaster assigned the task of getting the school going for the first year was a retired, former Inspector of Education, Mr Schultz. Brand new buildings, all the usual TED (Transvaal Education Department) stock, including curtains, desks, chairs, textbooks and  a wild unfenced playground were handed over. This is what the 8 teachers, one secretary and enthusiastic pupils faced on that historic day.
