Yellowwoods Private Preparatory School Adelaide Fort Beaufort Eastern Cape South Africa.

Yellowwoods School has a total staff compliment of twenty. The School Head and Academic staff are all highly experienced, qualified teachers, who are known to produce excellent academic results. Our Admin Staff have exceptional qualifications and experience, which they pour into their work. The thorough grounding children receive at this school is borne-out by the fact that they are known to perform exceptionally well when joining other schools. 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. He responded immediately to the parents’ plea for help, and addressed the 1994 meeting on what quality education is all about. Many months of planning, negotiations and hard work followed before the school became a reality. The origins of these premises date back to 1841 when a retired sea captain and poet, Mr. Hazelton built a coach inn for the ox, horse and donkey wagons transporting goods between towns. They managed a trading store selling beautiful imported fabrics and high quality goods- while still running the country hotel. The premises was bought by the Fort Beaufort Preparatory School Trust and Yellowwoods School was born. Yellowwoods is fortunate in having an energetic and enthusiastic parent body (usually moms). A representative is elected annually to give leadership and structure to our functions and fund raising. The Class Mom encourages support from the relevant parents who are always willing to send in a cash donation towards expenses or an item to sell, i.e. Cupcakes, banana bread, sausage rolls, popcorn, biltong. These funds are used to purchase items needed in their child’s classroom. Our parents are a great support group to the school for sports, catering, fundraising and general assistance at the school. The parents identify projects and each year, a few fundraisers are held- usually one big project and a few smaller events during the course of the year. Some of our highly successful events have included the Yellowwoods Country Fair, Luncheons (with guest speakers) popular sporting events and regular family Sunday lunches/steak evenings -usually held on our beautiful campus. SCHOOL SONG You give a whole lot of sunshine And wide open space, With courage and spirit, pride and wisdom and grace. Like a tree that is planted in the rich soil of love With its branches reaching to the sky above. You give us more than just knowledge, You train head, heart and hand. With love to God and each other as our Golden Rule We love you, Yellowwoods School. Raise your voices loud and clear And catch the music of the air. Sing a song of oceans deep And stars that cosmic secrets keep.
