Description

The school is situated at the foot of Table Mountain right next to the historical Welgemeend in Cape Town. The school has an enrolment of approximately 500 pupils, who are divided into three houses: Reijger, Dromedaris and De Goede Hoop, named after the three ships that Jan van Riebeeck landed in Cape Town in 1652. Jan van Riebeeck High has firmly established itself in the theatre industry by making it to the finals of the ATKV National Drama Competition for the 13th year running, as well as being nationally awarded for best production, best directing, best actor, best actress and best handling of technical aspects. Famous alumni include the singer Laurika Rauch, struggle hero and current Minister of Science and Technology Derek Hanekom and venture capitalist Roelof Botha.
