Joburg private school shuts down as enrolment dwindles to only 92 pupils

The group has decided to close two schools - Trinityhouse Northriding and Trinityhouse Palm Lakes in KwaZulu-Natal.

Roy Douglas, ADvTECH chief executive, said: “The anticipated student numbers for Trinityhouse Northriding have fallen short of expectations since inception. Furthermore, Trinityhouse Northriding has proven not to be a sustainable feeder school into Trinityhouse Randpark Ridge, as anticipated. The slow growth in pupil numbers, for example, has also impeded the school’s ability to offer depth in terms of extramural activities.

He said that for the 2021 academic year, they had only received eight new applications for grades 000 to 4. They hoped to accommodate Northriding learners at their other schools. “We are confident that we can support students and parents with alternative options at some of our other schools in the Trinityhouse brand and/or at other ADvTECH schools. Every effort will be made to ensure a smooth transition of students from Trinityhouse Northriding to other schools in the group.
