The Girls College Trust was formed in September 1982 for the purpose of establishing a private, multi-racial, inter-denominational secondary school for girls in Bulawayo. Girls College was duly registered as a private secondary school in terms of the Zimbabwe Education Act of 1979, and opened its doors to pupils in January 1983 with seventy five Form One pupils and six teachers.
Forms Two and Three were added in May 1983 and the first set of Cambridge O level examinations were written the following year in November 1984. A Lower Sixth Form was established in 1985, with the first Cambridge A level examinations being written in 1986. Girls College is inter-denominational with a Christian basis and all pupils are expected to attend school Assemblies. Boarders are expected to attend Chapel Services.
