Danville Diamond

Depuis qu'il a ouvert ses portes en 1967 à 71 élèves de 8e année, Danville a augmenté

Since it opened its doors in 1967 to 71 Grade 8 pupils, Danville has grown into a respected learning facility that is recognised throughout South Africa for its academic, sporting and cultural achievements.

Like the milkwood tree that is symbolised on its badge and planted at the heart of the school, Danville’s traditions are deeply rooted and anchor the ever growing tree. The trunk of the milkwood tree symbolises the strength and stability of the management, staff and parents of the school and this “trunk” has supported the growth of the pupils as they have gone from strength to strength.

The branches of the tree symbolise the opportunities afforded pupils academically and culturally, in sport, service and leadership. These branches bear fruit...the achievements of each pupil at the school. Each girl is encouraged to be the “golden seed” in the area in which she shows potential enabling her to step through the doors into life as an accomplished, confident young lady ready to live her life happily and successfully.
