Welcome to the Official Trafalgar High School Website

As the oldest school for people of colour in South Africa, Trafalgar High School has a proud history both in terms of providing superior education as well as ensuring that its students understand their responsibility in society and their communities. These values that have endured for more than a century can be traced to when the school was founded in 1912 after the President of the African People’s Organisation, Dr Abdurahman, who was a councillor at the time, campaigned for a co-educational school for coloured people. The school’s first principal, Harold Cressy was also the first person of colour to get a BA degree from the University of Cape Town. Both these men understood that a good education was the means to changing social and economic circumstances.
