ABOUT V.G.H.S.
HOSTELS
We
have five hostels currently run with the help of VG
hostel staff and Rhodes University students. The
five hostels are as follows:
Mather Pike
This is
one of the smaller hostels currently hosting twelve
girls, two prefects and three staff members. The
home away from home idea is made possible by the
smaller house and the few residents making this an
enjoyable experience for all.
Renfrew House
This is
another smaller house that reinforces the idea of a
homely hostel. The house is run with the help of
three staff members and two hostel prefects and
twelve other house mates. This house has a relaxed
vibe and the close relationship of the girls creates
lasting friendships.
Eleanor Brown House
The
junior hostel that is home to grade 8 to grade 10 is
the perfect place to mould young minds a great start
for someone who is new to town and hoping to find
new friends. This house is a working environment
education is important but fun is never forgotten
with the help of supporting staff and great people
who make this house something special
Beaufort
House
The
senior hostel that houses grade 10, 11 and 12s is
the perfect place for mature, dedicated people.
With the help of the kind and hard working staff
this hostel has become a place of more than learning
but has been to many girls a place to grow.
Denise long house
This small hostel creates a homely
environment in which girls can focus on their
academics and where they learn to be responsible and
to behave maturely.
MATHER PIKE HOUSE
Mather Pike is one of the smaller
hostels that started at the beginning of 2006. With
the new house mother Ms Ntombela, and the helpful
student supervisors from Rhodes university, the house
has gone from strength to strength.

ELEANOR BROWN HOUSE
A hostel
with many new faces each year, this is the little
nest where it is strictly juniors - only Grade
8-10's. This hostel is an introduction of hostel
life where you learn to be independent under the
supervision of perfects and not forgetting the
hostel Matron's Mrs Mitchell
and Mrs January and the student supervisors.

BEAUFORT HOUSE
This hostel is filled with friendly faces and many different
characters bound by one thing: the Beaufort
house family. It has limited accommodation and to be
here you have to be a senior Grade 11 or 12.
This fantastic hostel has a loving mother-figure
in Mrs Dampies and an excellent learning environment, as
silence is not golden but platinum. It is
definitely the place to be if you want great
company and a loving family.

HOSTEL LIFE
It is important to
know that hostel is NOT like prison
... you sometimes
get to sleep in!
