[3] In January 1983, Girls' College opened with an initial enrollment of seventy-five Form One pupils and six teachers with Ross Fuller as the headmaster of the institution.

A building across the road from the main school premises was acquired and named Palmer House with the purpose of establishing commercial classes.

Upon her resignation in 2007, she was temporarily replaced by Mr Todd until Lesley Ross was ready to take her place as headmistress in 2008.

It features a central crossed crosslet in red (an insignia which forms part of the coat-of-arms for the City of Bulawayo).

Above the crosslet are three interlocking gold-coloured amulets which are symbolic, on three different levels, depending on the context in which one wishes to view them.
