From the time that the primary school for deaf began in borrowed rooms, Headteacher Mr. E.G. Mtonga dreamed that one day there would be, at Embangweni, a secondary school for the deaf.  He realized that even the best and the brightest deaf students would struggle at a secondary school that did not understand or adapt to their needs.   When the charter class at the primary school had all 10 of its members accepted for secondary school, the need for a secondary school for the deaf became more obvious.  Six of the 10 went to Robert Laws Secondary School (ROLASS) in Embangweni. This kept them close to the Primary school and the teachers could visit ROLASS and provide very limited help to students.  Teachers of the deaf also tried to assist the secondary school teachers who had no specific training in teaching the deaf learner.  The students worked together – each using their particular skills – to exchange class information but it was very difficult.  At the end of Form 4, four of this class had completed the course.
