Holy Rosary School
Overview
We are a private, independent Catholic school for girls. We build good character and confident women who are able to take on the world.
Holy Rosary started off as a single-building school on the Hurly farm outside Johannesburg in 1940.
Led by Bishop Shanahan, the courageous Missionary Sisters of the Holy Rosary gave up their lives in Ireland to come to South Africa for a greater purpose. They came to South Africa to help others. They loved people beyond themselves. They worked in the fields and built the school.
They achieved a massive lasting legacy – a school that nurtures the girls of today into the women of tomorrow.
