About Gonubie Primary School Pre-School
Gonubie Primary School Pre-School is located in Gonubie. Gonubie Mouth Primary School came into existence in January 1930 with Miss V. Egelhof as the first teacher. A banana ripening shed, belonging to Mr Louis Rosenbaum, was used until a classroom was built. There was an enrolment of 30 pupils.
After Miss Egelhofยs departure in June 1935, the school building was used as a Municipal Workshop and later by the Boy Scouts as their headquarters. It is currently used by the Gonubie Round Table as their headquarters.Tuition was then offered by Miss Duffy on Mr Louis Kirchยs farm. The building(a rondavel) was damaged by wind, so Mr Hoedemaker erected a school room on his farm, Athlone, for his familyย and children of neighboring farms.
