Glenwood High School Yacht Club
image by Peter Edwards, 26 Sept 2018
Glenwood High School is located in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. After the Anglo-Boer War, Dr. Sam Campbell, a well-known medical doctor, was greatly concerned at the poor outlook for boys who had left primary schools and lacked opportunities for further education and employment. After great effort, he was able to establish an institution for technical and higher education in Durban. Evening classes began at the Durban Technical Institute in September 1907. Later it was decided to start day classes and so it came to pass that on 01 August 1910 a high school was opened under the name of ‘The Day Continuation School for Boys” which eventually developed into the present day Glenwood High School. The name was changed to the “Technical High School, Durban” in 1915 and in 1934 the current name “Glenwood High School” came to be used. The present school badge (shown below) was designed in 1937. The green in the badge has now become synonymous with the School and its sports teams.

The image attached shows a yellow anchor and crown, shouldn't it be a white
anchor with a full color crown?
Jose C. Alegria, 04 Nov 2007
I caught Fred's comments to the contrary as well after I had drawn the image.
However, according to RCYC officials, my rendition is correct. It is on their
website and they verified my actual drawing.
It might be worth looking into to see if the burgee did in fact look like Fred's
description in the past.
