HERITAGE

St Nicholas Diocesan School was founded by Bishop Alfred Mkhize, Bishop Suffragan of Natal. He approached the Diocese of Natal in 1984 and asked that they establish a Church school for black students. In late 1988, the Natal Witness in Pietermaritzburg announced that the Wykeham School in Loop Street was for sale. In July 1989, the Diocesan Trustees bought the property with the help of generous donations. The school was officially opened on 22 March 1990.

ACADEMICS

The school motto is Deus Ducit which means “God Leads”.
