A Glance Into Danville Park Girls’ High School
Nestled in the scenic Durban North area with stunning views over the Indian Ocean, Danville has been a beacon of educational excellence since 1967. From humble beginnings with just 74 students and a small team of 10 staff members, Danville has grown into a leading institution for over 800 young women who aspire to academic and personal success.
ACADEMICS
One of Danville’s most remarkable achievements is its outstanding academic record, with a 100% matric pass rate spanning 30 consecutive years!
This consistency reflects the dedication of our skilled educators (including NSC and Senior Markers, and a National Examiner) and hard work of our learners. Danville feeds the medical profession every year with at least 10 students!
SPORT
Sport is an important aspect of a holistic education. We have a competitive and social programme that welcomes every learner, regardless of her sporting level.
Our athletes compete at the highest level, ensuring exposure to quality competition. In most arenas Danville is placed as the top public school in their league, boasting numerous KZN and SA representatives annually.
This is achieved from top quality coaching, including current and past national and provincial players. Our Head of Netball, Precious Mthembu, was recently announced as the KZN Coach of the Year and she is the U21 SA Netball Coach.
Our extensive facilities set us apart from most schools. Our Astro Turf, Indoor Sports Centre and heated Swimming Pool reflect our commitment to support our athletes with the best resources. Our Medical Centre houses a Biokineticist and Physiotherapist who are available at reduced rates to our players.
CULTURE
Our voice of Culture is growing; our motto: “Let’s get loud”. We pride ourselves in honing the talents of our learners in ALL four art forms: Art, Dance, Drama and Music.
We are excited about our new state of the art Milkwood Theatre, and we welcome our Old Girls, Durban North Community and South African theatre professionals to visit or perform in our theatre and embrace the opportunities that this new creative space brings, including a Music Room and Recording Studio!
