Lynne van Dellen (Preparatory Principal), Christo de Wit (COO), Joan Coetzee (Pre-school Principal), Jacques de Villiers (High School Principal), Pule Chiloane (Area Facilities Manager – Properties) and Wazani Ndlovu (Head of Boarding).

“Pecanwood College is proud to partner with Pure Care to launch a Water Treatment Project on campus,” the school said.
“This state-of-the-art facility utilises advanced reverse osmosis (RO) technology to remove harmful contaminants such as lead, arsenic, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ensuring that our learners, staff, and visitors have access to safe, high-quality drinking water. This initiative not only enhances the well-being of our community but also reflects our commitment to sustainability and responsible resource management.”
In the past week, the college has successfully processed over 3.8 million litres of purified drinking water, with a 284,000-liter storage capacity, ensuring a reliable supply for both hostel residents and day scholars. “This means that every student and staff member at Pecanwood College benefits from clean, great-tasting water that meets the highest quality standards.”
By investing in cutting-edge water purification technology, Pecanwood College is taking proactive steps towards a more sustainable future by reducing plastic waste from bottled water, promoting healthier hydration habits, and ensuring long-term water security for our campus.
“We are excited about this milestone and look forward to expanding our sustainability efforts even further.”
