Yellowwood Park Primary School | 23 Flamingo Grve, Durban, 4004

Yellowwoods School was started in Fort Beaufort in January 1996 and Mr. Robin Retzlaff was the first Principal. It was testimony of what a community can achieve when it takes matters into its own hands. The idea of establishing the school came from members of the local Presbyterian Church. They included the minister, Rev. Eddie Germiquet, Fort Hare academics and some farmers. Soon other townsfolk and parents also became involved and a meeting in 1994 discussed the feasibility of starting an independent, English medium school - based on Christian values and quality education principles.
