History

The school was founded in 1966 as a clinic by Sonia Machanick.[1] Machanick's work in the field of educational research was recognised by the College of Medicine of South Africa, who established the Sonia Machanick Travelling Fellowship.[2] The name of the school was taken from the names of Machanick's four children: Janice, Paul, Roy and Ian.

Kathleen Argyle took over as headmistress upon Machanick's death in 1978. Joan Gardiner succeeded her in 1994, and the current headmaster, Steve Rees, took office in 2002.[3]

Today

Since being founded the school has grown to almost 200 students enrolled.[4]
