History

The Dutch Reformed Church established Daisyfield School and Orphanage in Bulawayo in 1911. In 1948 the school relocated to the outskirts of Salisbury (now Harare). The new school was renamed Bothashof after a Reverend Botha who had worked very hard for the school. In 1986 the name Eaglesvale was adopted.

Acclamation

Bus from Eaglesvale
Eaglesvale has been acclaimed by the public for running a successful bus transportation service with over 18 buses, run by a team of skilled, professional administration and drivers. It owns a fleet of school buses that transport students to and from school at 0630HRS, 1300HRS and 1630HRS everyday to places all over Harare; the exception being Fridays where less buses travel to one stop due to the nature of the after school curriculum structure.

Eaglesvale School Song

Corridor view

Eaglesvale, one united school,
 Staff and pupils, come oh Lord to you
 Where we've failed You, where we've not shown your love
 Forgive us now.
We submit Lord to your Kingship,
 We want to glorify your Name
 In everything we think and say and do,
 Our desire is the same.
 May Your joy fill our hearts,
 May your love our lives rule,
 May we spread Your peace and caring,
 Lord we want to serve You.
Eaglesvale (echo: Eaglesvale), worships you Father,
 Eaglesvale (echo: Eaglesvale), loves you Jesus,
 Eaglesvale (echo: Eaglesvale), surrenders to Your Holy Spirit,
 We, are, Yours..
 (Repeat)
