Why does Wynberg Boys’ High need donations?

Wynberg Boys’ High School would be unable to operate and offer a world class education without the ongoing financial support of parents, Old Boys and benefactors interested in improving educational opportunities for young South African men.

It should be borne in mind that State contribution to elite schools like Wynberg Boys’ High School is currently the following:

  • 38% of the personnel budget;

  • 1% of the current expenditure on IT;

  • 0,6% of operating costs;

  • A miniscule fraction of the maintenance costs;

  • 0% of development costs.

The present annual budgetary needs of Wynberg Boys’ High are in excess of R35m. The difference between what the State funds and what is required is provided by parents, Old Boys and benefactors.
