Whitestone
Whitestone School is an independent, day, preparatory school in for boys
and girls in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.
M. G. Fleming acquired land and opened Whitestone School in 1942.
Whitestone was sold by Mr Fleming to Ruzawi Schools Ltd thus being run
as an Anglican Diocesan preparatory school for boys. In 1975, the school
was closed as a result of the sudden decline in enrollment, due mainly
to the removal of many Zambian pupils. In 1978 all movable property was
auctioned and the buildings remained empty for partial occupation by
pupils and staff of Cyrene Mission during the civil war years.
The Whitestone School Trust was founded in 1981 and the school was
purchased from Ruzawi Schools Ltd. It was re-opened in September 1982 as
a co-educational school for day and boarding pupils.
