History

Lomagundi College was opened in 1983. The school was built in a valley, over an abandoned coal mine named Shengwidsee.

The senior school boarding hostels were named after areas around Zimbabwe, namely Sebakwe, Mana (the two boys hostels) with Vumba and Charara being the girls hostels.

Notable alumni

Lomagundi has produced some great sportsmen and women over the decades, such as Greg Lamb (Cricket), Sean Ervine (Cricket), Brendan Taylor (Cricket) and Margaret Odendaal (Athletics).
