PARKTOWN
BOYS' STRIVES TO BE AN OUTSTANDING BOYS' SCHOOL , EDUCATING
FOR LIFE THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHARACTER AND POTENTIAL
The Parktown Experience is refinement, tradition and excellence.
This is accomplished by meeting the educational and personal
needs of our pupils and by giving them the opportunities,
skills and motivation to succeed. The enormous success
of many Parktonians since 1920 bears testimony to the
value of the Parktown Experience. Founded in 1920, Parktown
has been situated in Wellington Road since 1923.
The original school building is now a National Monument.
Many past pupils have acquitted themselves as leaders
of commerce, renowned academics, Springboks and International
sportsmen. Successful Old Parktonians who have achieved
abroad include a Battle of Britain pilot, a member of
the House of Lords and fellows of the Royal College of
Surgeons. Past pupils continue to maintain contact from
as far afield as Saudi Arabia, England, Australia and
America. The school enjoys a long-standing affiliation
with the Transvaal Scottish Regiment. Headmaster's
