Daar was egter sekere ooreenkomste wat bepaal het dat die skool nader aan \u2019n stedelike gebied moes wees, sodat gespesialiseerde personeel gewerf kon word, asook naby \u2019n goed toegeruste hospitaal \u2013 in hierdie geval die Tygerberg-hospitaal.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>In 1972 is grond in Brackenfell aangekoop vir die oprigting van die skool, en in Julie 1978 het Paarl Skool sy deure geopen. Aangesien die inisiatief en jare lange strewe om so \u2019n skool tot stand te bring uit persone in Paarl gekom het, is besluit om die skool Paarl Skool te noem.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Die skool was oorspronklik beplan vir 165 leerders, en die koshuis kon tot 42 leerders akkommodeer. Tans kan die skool \u2019n maksimum van 350 leerders akkommodeer.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2062\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Skoolhoofde<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2062\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2062\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><div style=\"text-align: center;\"><ul><li><b>Mnr.
