Afrikaanse Hoër Meisieskool
- Afrikaanse Hoër Meisieskool
The Afrikaanse Hoër Meisieskool is a public, Afrikaans-speaking high school for girls in Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa. It is the sister school of the Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool.
History
The school was initially housed in the home of General Piet Joubert at 218 Visagie Street, Pretoria. By 1927, it had grown to such an extent that new premises were required and the school was subsequently moved to the current site. At the end of 1927, the school took over the Hogere Oosteindschool, a Dutch-medium instruction school, suggestive of the demise of Dutch as a language in South Africa and the ensuing adoption of Afrikaans as the primary instruction medium.
By 1929 this building had also run out of space and the decision was made to split the boys into a separate school, Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool, thus creating the first separate Afrikaans girls' and boys' schools in South Africa.
In 2003, Afrikaanse Hoër Meisieskool was the winner of the Afrikaans Olympiad in the category Afrikaans as first language. Potchefstroom Gimnasium in North West was second and the Hoër Meisieskool Bloemhof in the Western Cape, third.
