This school has gradually petered out due to the difficult circumstances of that time - but in 1934 a "two men school", the Waterkloof School, was created, approximately 400m south of Ellisras Hotel.
This school accommodated learners up to standard six.
The enrolment rate has increased rapidly and a wood and corrugated iron classroom, and a local tent was erected.
In January 1942 the school started with 105 pupils. Everything just started running smoothly, when a great storm burst and blew away the tent venue.
In July 1947 the Waterkloof Central School was established for learners up to standard six.This is the current Laerskool Ellisras.
On 18 July 1952 the school committee gathered to discuss the possibility of "Secondary Education", and in 1958 this ideal is realized and the school called Waterkloof Group II was erected.
In 1965 JP de Beer was appointed as acting principal.
In the mean time the High School building was being build from 1 May 1963 by Capital Construction.
With the opening of the schools in January 1966 the buildings were completed and occupied and JP de Beer was appointed as principal.
In January 1969 PJC van Dyk became the next principal and the intensive endeavour for sport fields was started.
In August 1981 the building of houses for Eskom workers progressed well.
A noticeable trend was steady to rising numbers - for August 360 pupils was a clear increase in learner numbers.
Today Hoërskool Ellisras is under the leadership of Mr. Louis Campbell and the school boasts with several outstanding performances at local, provincial and national level.
In 2018, after Mr Campell retires, Mr Adriaan Joubert was appointed and the school is once again on the threshold of a new revolution and a new future.
