The site is a very good, but little-known resource for locating Cape Town families. It has lists of graduates (first, last and maiden names and e-mail addresses) for matric-year groups since 1960.
 
On 30 June 2002, Chaim Charutz wrote: This is a Jewish Day School existing in Cape Town since 1940. Its first matriculation class was in 1956, and it has a rather extensive listing of people who studied there at various stages.
 
I would imagine that it would be a very useful tool to trace various Jewish families in the region. One important factor in this was the school hostel which catered to pupils from towns and villagers from out of Cape Town. I even recall that in the 1950's and 1960's there were students from what was then the Belgian Congo - later Zaire and Northern Rhodesia - Zambia.
