Welcome to Paarl Boys’ High School
Established in 1868, our school is one of the oldest in South Africa and steeped in tradition.

The three foundational traditions
In order to develop well-rounded gentlemen, we pride ourselves on following three main foundational traditions: good conduct, good scholarship and good sportsmanship. We strive to ensure that teachers and students maintain these standards. We believe it is our deep-rooted tradition and our desire to maintain these standards that set us apart from other educational institutions.
Our aim is to send well-educated gentlemen out into the world.
Winning will always be important, but that should never be our only objective. The primary objective at Paarl Boys’ High will always be one of enjoyment. Anyone who sees the enthusiasm of the brothers in blue, both on the field and in the stands, realises that this is true.
Winning will always be important, but that should never be our only objective.
Drama en musiek verryk die skoollewe en ontsluit talente; daarom is dit vir ons by HJS belangrik dat seuns dikwels as moontlik die geleentheid kry om ook hul talente op kulturele vlak te beoefen.
Ons het ʼn baie aktiewe kultuurdepartement, wat ʼn verskeidenheid van aktiwiteite aanbied.
Om die dagskoliere in staat te stel om op gelyke voet met die koshuisleerders in verskeie kompetisies deur die jaar te kompeteer, het ons ook drie daghuise, Berlijn, Zeederberg en Villieria.
