Make it stand out.
CAS
Community Service has been an integral part of a Waterford education since the founding of the school in 1963. By doing service, students discover that they can help to change the world through courageous action, personal example and selfless leadership.
Community Service is a practical and meaningful opportunity for Waterford students to make a real difference in the local communities of Swaziland, and to learn the importance of community engagement. The programme brings our students together with people from often vastly different circumstances to their own, which opens their eyes to social issues and the potential to make change. Their experiences shape their ambitions and priorities, so that when they enter the world of work their choices will be informed by their social conscience.
Kamhlaba Fund
Scholarships are a strategic priority for Waterford. Gifts enhance the diversity of Waterford Kamhlaba UWCSA and expand the reach of the Scholarship Programme; enabling these experiences to be as rewarding as possible. WK is committed to diversity and aims to have as many students from different national, cultural, religious and socio-economic backgrounds as possible. Scholarships are offered to students who do well in the application process but can not afford to attend WK. Financial aid is both need and merit based.
Capital Projects
Learning in positive and motivating surroundings enhances the aptitude of our students. Gifts to the college’s capital campaign help transform the learning environment.
The school has the following refurbishment programme in place for the years 2018-2022:

This refurbishment programme will strengthen the facilities and resources within the college campus with learning in mind - providing students with inspiring spaces that help bring their learning to life.
