The school bar is open every day from 19.00 until late. It is very important that you note that you must not drink alcohol from outside in the bar. No persons under 18 may drink alcohol in South Africa. Please inform the bartender if there is any kind of alcohol you would like to buy but which is not available at the bar. The bartender will make every effort to stock it in the future.

Our school bar is a fully licensed South African liquor outlet and falls under the South African Liquor Licensing Act. This means that we can only allow alcohol that has been bought at the school to be consumed here. It Is illegal to bring and consume your own alcohol on licensed premises. Please help us to abide by the laws of South Africa!
