In 1989, we amalgamated with Ellerslie Girls' High School after it had become clear that it was not viable to continue with separate schools for boys and girls in the Sea Point area. The decision was taken to use our premises for the new school and Tafelberg High moved into the vacant premises of Ellerslie Girls' High.
Refer to the book compiled by Frank Quinn, who was a history teacher at the school. Book is titled "Beneath the Lion Bold; a History of the Sea Point Boys High School'.
