Welcome to Peterhouse Girls' School
Welcome to Peterhouse Girls' School

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Peterhouse Girls’ School Website.

You will soon find that we offer a wide variety of Academic, Sporting, Club and Cultural Activities which gives our girls the opportunity to develop their own particular mix of talents and interests.

We are a country school and enjoy a wonderful clean natural environment. The msasas in September are fantastic.

Please take time to enjoy the Website and if you have any comments or queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.  Should you be in the vicinity, you would be most welcome to visit us in the non-virtual world.

 
Baby Giraffe - January 2012
The baby giraffe is well and we have two baby wildebeest and eighteen new impala. The male sable has settled in  and a 'new' male kudu has joined the group - all animals look healthy with the good grazing.
There are plans to bring in new blood lines of zebra, impala and wildebeest this year - fund raising is ongoing.

Alan Megahey Memorial
Alan Megahey passed away after a short illness at the end of last summer. He was laid to rest in his final parish in Leadenham on 26 August 2011. As many of his former pupils and other Petreans were not able to make the funeral, a memorial service will be held at St. Marylebone Parish Church on Marylebone Road, London, NW1 5LT at 14:00 on Saturday 10 March 2012. The memorial service will be a fitting way to remember a man that had such a positive impact on not only all of our lives but also on education in Zimbabwe. If you are in touch with any other Petreans please do forward these details to them.
