A few years later in 1911, St. Peter’s Priory and College were added, offering a boarding-based high school education to the young men who came from all over South Africa.

Trevor Huddleston, one of the priests of the community was based at St Peter's for a number of years, and it was he who gave Hugh Masekela his first trumpet, which he acquired from Louis Armstrong whilst on a trip to the USA.

The list of the early alumni includes Oliver Tambo, Fikile Bam and Masekela.

The apartheid policies of the National Party regime, specifically the Bantu Education Act put pressure on the school and it was closed in 1956.

A Preparatory School was opened in 1971, and is situated on a picturesque campus in The Hill, overlooking Moffat Park.
