Our History

Kleinmond Primary School was established in 1925 with a small zinc building which was divided into three parts. On either side of the classroom was a bargain store and a builder’s storeroom. The first permanent school building in Kleinmond was opened in 1927. It consisted of two classrooms. The offices and gr 1 class must have been built between 1974 and 1981. In 1981 the porch was enclosed and a storage room added. Before 1974, a pitching building was erected next to the netball court and later two more North of the existing classrooms. These two were connected with a small brick classroom in 1997.

The sports ground was developed in 1980 and the first athletics event took place in 1981. From that time, several additions were made, such as the building next to the rugby field which was used as a storeroom/classroom/garage/storage room.
