Kloof Junior Primary School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kloof Junior Primary School is a public, co-educational junior primary school situated in Kloof, near Durban in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
It is run by the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education and a school governing body.
The school separated from Kloof Senior Primary School in 1965 and a new school building was built in Abelia Road to accommodate grade 1 to grade 3 learners. The learners moved from the old school, where the Kloof Pre-Primary School is, to the present school buildings in 1969.
The first principal of the then Kloof Infant's School was Miss Lawrence. She was well known for the amazing children's plays which she wrote and in which the children took part. She was the principal until 1974 when Mrs. B. Dacomb took over. Mrs Dacomb was responsible for introducing the first computer centre at the school in 1985 when 15 Commodore computers were bought. It was during this time that the school became known as the Kloof Junior Primary school.
Mrs R.E Burke took over in 1986 and was responsible for many new developments at the school. Among these were a swimming pool, a new hall, a new administration wing and a new computer centre. Mrs Burke retired in 2005 and Mrs Dobson was appointed as Acting Principal at the school until a new principal is appointed.
