Description: Grahamstown Training College: In 1903 Mother Cecile went to England soon after the Boer war, which had greatly affected Grahamstown, to raise funds to buy land on Grey Street (Land was bought between 1902 and 1924). At the board meeting in June she announced that she had raised money to buy The Grotto, the building and land on which Grahamstown Traning College was built. She proposed that a block of classrooms were to be erected to accommodate 160 students. Mother Cecile’s determination to build a College that would accommodate 160 students was both far reaching and realistic. On August the 31st, 1903, the Foundation stone was laid. The inscription on it reads: Grahamstown Training School. This building is a gift from the Mother Country. To help forward our common hope “That our daughters may grow up as the polished corners of the temple” Psalm cxliv 12. In May 1904 the College block was opened. The new Grahamstown Training College was opened 20 years after the Community was founded. There were now 89 students and the first GTC magazine was published. Except for 1 year before the Gorvett’s took over from Mother Nonie, a magazine or newsletter has been produced every year since then. The Old Girls Guild was formed.
