Port Natal School has a remarkable history of growth and transformation. Originally an Afrikaans-only institution, it stood as a stronghold of the Afrikaans tradition for many years. However, the school recognized the importance of inclusivity, understanding that its role in education goes beyond language; it involves shaping a future that embraces diversity and unity. By expanding to welcome both Afrikaans and English speakers in 2017, Port Natal has taken a bold step toward bridging communities and fostering a culture of mutual respect.
This commitment to inclusivity is just the beginning. Port Natal is more than a school; it’s a community, and one that acknowledges the richness that comes from celebrating all races, cultures, and backgrounds. The journey toward inclusivity is ongoing, and the school remains open to change, adapting to meet the needs of every student who walks through its doors. With a strong foundation in both Afrikaans and English, Port Natal is creating a future where all students, regardless of their heritage, can grow, learn, and thrive together. There is still much room to grow, but Port Natal is committed to being a place where everyone feels welcome, valued and empowered, paving the way for a bright, united future.
