HISTORY

During 1713 the Morkel family established the farm Onverwacht (later also known as Die Bos). Parts of the original farm were hived off or sold over the years. Altena, the part closest to the sea ("al te na aan die see" in Afr) were sold during the 1900s only to be bought back again by the family later on. It is on this part of the original farm that the new school was being built.
