Your Privacy and Security Matter to Us

Last updated: January 2025

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Your privacy and security are of the utmost importance to us. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information about you when you use our services, including our platform and website.

1. Who Are We?

Krugersdorp High School was established in 1903 under the guidance of Miss Martin, our first Headmistress. Under her leadership, the values of grit, excellence, and dedication were deeply embedded in the school's foundation.

Throughout its rich history, the school has faced significant challenges. Notably, after the school building was destroyed by fire in the early 1920s, education resumed the very next day in a new location. Similarly, during the nationwide closure caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the school quickly adapted by pioneering online learning and implementing a drive-thru system on the rugby field for students to upload and download assignments.

In its 121 years, Krugersdorp High School has had only nine principals. Our current Headmaster, Mr. Ivan Bailey, continues to advance the school's academic, sporting, and cultural excellence. This long history of consistent leadership reflects the dedication and philosophy that define K.H.S., as it is affectionately known within our community.

We also collect data automatically when you visit our website, view our advertisements on third-party sites, or read our marketing communications.

Otherwise, we rely on your consent or legitimate interests (such as relationship management or credit verification) to process your data lawfully.
