At the time of his appointment Prinsloo expressed the hope that the school's brand could be improved from "fifth" to first place nationally,[7] but his tenure was noted for heightened tensions and a very high turnover of staff.

[12][13] In 2021 the Gauteng Education Department temporarily relieved Prinsloo of his duties at Eldoraigne, after fellow staff accused him of victimization and bullying,[14] and some parents allegedly signed a petition to remove him.

When the department moved to charge Prinsloo with misconduct, his accusers however decided to "stand their ground" by refusing to testify in a disciplinary hearing.

[16] A week later some 40 parents and pupils however gathered to hand over a petition to the South African Teachers' Union (SAOU) which was signed by hundreds of respondents.

Types of sport done at the school include[25] Academic pass rates for grades 8 through 11 for the past ten years.
