What you should know about DURBAN PREPARATORY HIGH SCHOOL

High School in Durban

Durban Prep is a school steeped in tradition, with impressive facilities and the best Educators who provide top-quality education. Amongst all of this are high levels of support from all connected to the school. Taking the example of the Educators, the well-mannered boys learn leadership and develop high levels of integrity, in an environment. It is progressive and fresh, and very challenging, and one can only feel privileged to be a part of it. A core value at Durban Preparatory High School is that every boy must have equal access to every learning opportunity. The fun and excitement of learning at DPHS goes beyond the classroom, where a world of sporting opportunities awaits the boys. Regardless of ability, all boys at DPHS, from Grade 0 through to Grade 7, are encouraged to take part in a wide range of sporting activities. While many schools encourage participation, what makes this century-old school unique is its commitment to boys’ schooling and a passion for sport. The school is able to draw on a large and committed family of DPHS parents, teachers, coaches and old boys to achieve the goal of giving every boy a chance to succeed as a member of a school team. From Grade 0 pupils are encouraged to take part in a comprehensive sport and physical education programme, which provides a foundation for proficiency and enjoyment in a wide variety of sports in the upper grades. This emphasis in the foundation phase on parental participation in the coaching process goes hand in hand with the school’s stand against parents, coaches and spectators who put unreasonable expectations on players or offer disparaging remarks against officials. Sport at DPHS is enriched throughout the year by an all-inclusive inter-house sport programme as well as individual sports such as golf, body boarding, surfing, athletics, tennis and cross country. The benefits of early coaching ensures good results, but more importantly, a large pool of confident boys keen to represent their school each weekend and enjoy sport with the right attitude. The desire to develop a complete pupil has driven DPHS to enthusiastically pursue away fixtures, tours and festivals. Senior primary boys tour to top schools in other provinces to play cricket, golf, rugby, tennis and water polo. The annual DPHS Primary Schools National Rugby Festival involves all senior primary rugby-playing boys in the school. A highlight on the calendar for the many participating schools, it has firmly established itself as one of the country’s top primary school sports festivals. The sport and health programme is under the leadership of two specialists: Director of Sport, Michael Dick and Director of Physical Education, Gavin Goodwin. Participation in many off-campus activities such as lifesaving, surfing, mountain biking, open water swimming and the martial arts is also encouraged.
