The vision of the Paul Roos 150 Trust Fund is to maintain academic excellence at Paul Roos Gymnasium despite the challenges to quality education in South Africa. The Trust Fund aims to secure the future of the school as an institution of superior instruction for generations to come.
The Paul Roos 150 Trust Fund has agreed to provide financial support for the installation of central air-conditioning systems that will serve all classrooms, administrative offices, as well as the Japie Krige hall and PRG Centrum.
Stellenbosch experiences extremely high summer temperatures and humidity, which may affect our learners’ ability to concentrate. After careful consideration of the merits of a proposal received from the school, the Trust decided to support the installation of central air-conditioning systems as it will help to create a conducive learning environment.
Established in 2014, the Trust Fund was created to provide financial support to PRG for capital-intensive projects. The Trust is committed to helping maintain and uphold the school’s academic excellence to secure the school for future generations.
Through donations and fundraising projects, the Trust has assisted the school with various projects, the most recent of which was the upgrading of the Science Laboratories and the installation of an additional backup power supply.
This project will entail a significant capital outlay, and the Trustees are hoping that Old Boys, parents, and other donors would be willing to co-contribute to this initiative.

It is important to note that donations to the Trust are tax-deductible, and Section 18A certificates will be issued. The Paul Roos 150 Trust Fund’s bank details will be supplied upon request.

Opsomming in Afrikaans
Die visie van die Paul Roos 150 Trust Fund is om akademiese uitnemendheid by Paul Roos Gimnasium te handhaaf ten spyte van die uitdagings vir gehalte-onderwys in Suid-Afrika. Die Trust Fonds streef daarna om die skool se toekoms as ‘n instelling van voortreflike onderrig vir toekomstige geslagte te verseker. Die Paul Roos 150 Trustfonds ondersteun die installering van sentrale lugversorgingstelsels vir alle klaskamers, administratiewe kantore, asook die Japie Krige-saal en PRG-sentrum. Hierdie inisiatief is daarop gemik om ‘n geskikte leeromgewing te skep gegewe die hoë somertemperature en humiditeit in Stellenbosch. Donasies aan die Trust is belastingaftrekbaar, en bydraes sal gebruik word om infrastruktuur te verbeter. Besoek ons webwerf of kontak Elza Van der Walt vir meer inligting.
