The school was built in 1974 and registered two years later. Principal Ruth Tabu is at the helm of 1460 learners from grade R to seven and 41 teachers. Pupils are predominantly from the nearby Tembisa communities and informal settlement.

Richard Fourie, Managing Director of Goodyear South Africa says:

"We are committed to continue helping where we can and try to make a difference in your lives as you grow up and make the future of South Africa is better and stronger."
