“That our daughters may be like cornerstones, polished after the similitude of a palace”
Psalm 144:12
Honesty that characterises our conversations.
Responsibility that guides our actions.
Appreciation that strengthens our ties.
Consideration that fosters new friendships.
Accountability that intuitively encourage learners to learn new skills and habits that will serve them throughout their lives.
The school is a modern complex which is enriched by warm quadrangles and a noticeable air of tradition. The Adéle de Jager Assembly Hall and its foyer do justice to a school with a long and proud heritage.
The centrally located media centre, well equipped Life Centre, Digital centres, Theatre, Laboratories and Art Centre make Eunice a balanced learning establishment.
The school and Eunice House are part of a 19ha estate which is continually being developed. Besides the superbly laid out playing fields, learners can make full use of the swimming pool and the modern tennis, hockey, squash and netball facilities. Eunice House is the most modern learners’ boarding establishment in the Free State. It includes a fully equipped kitchen, a bright and spacious dining room and a separate well-lit prep room. The boarders share double rooms under the direct supervision of matric RCLs, student charge mistresses, house mothers and Eunice House Senior Mother– Mrs J Jacobsz.
By its nature, Bloemfontein provides many services and amenities normally associated with a large centre, without the disadvantages of a big city.
The proximity of the University, the CUT, the Sand du Plessis theatre complex, the Education Department, the Free State Stadium, and the Universitas, and Medi-Clinic Hospitals enable the school to make a wide range of opportunities and expertise available to students and staff.
Founded by the Dutch Reformed Church
Eunice School Song
By ELM King
Though all around has changed since her cornerstone was laid,
The spirit of Eunice has never been dismayed.
The future will not fright her, she fears nor change nor strife,
For she dwells beside the waters of wisdom and of life.
Eunice! Eunice! No other school so dear.
Oh may she grow and prosper from year, to changing year.
(Traditionally not sung)
And we her children love her, alike the big and small;
Her name and fame and honour are dear to one and all.
And love of her unites us and makes a mighty bond,
To bind the past and present and the fateful years beyond.
(Traditionally not sung)
She bids us pull together, she bids us give and take,
And selfish aims forego when the common weal’s at stake.
In playtime and in work time, in class and on the field,
She bids us fight the battle, she warns us not to yield.
(Traditionally not sung)
And day by day she trains us, our body, mind and soul.
In fortitude and freedom, in pluck and self-control.
And when at last we leave her, ‘twill soften our regret
To feel she will not alter, and we shall not forget.
For with her honour trusted her children will go forth,
To meet life’s grand adventure east, west and south and north.
And With the torch she gave them they’ll light the darkest way,
While the love that knits them to her grows deeper day by day.
