The 2020 Interkoltar at RCPL | |
The Royal College Port Louis (RCPL) is an academy in Cassis, Mauritius. It is regarded as the most prestigious secondary school in Mauritius, holding historical importance and one of the best concerning laureateship, education and morals. Originally founded in 1791 during the French colonial period, the first stone of the school's current building at Cassis was laid by Princess Margaret during her first visit to Mauritius in 1956.
In the past, it admitted boys having achieved brilliant results at the Certificate of Primary Education (CPE) exams, based on national rankings. RCPL has a tradition of Higher School Certificate (HSC) laureates who compete for state scholarships for tertiary studies abroad.
The school promotes both physical and mental activities believing their students should and can venture in different paths whilst not diminishing creativity.
Following education system reforms and the introduction of nine-year schooling, RCPL was converted into an academy in 2021. Thus becoming a co-education institution admitting best performing male and female students of the National Certificate of Education.
Former RCPL boys can still be in contact with the school by registering themselves in the RCPLAA (royal college Port-Louis Alumni Association) where annual general meetings are held to vote for 20 executive members who helps in the school's development. Activities are held for the RCPL old boys to reunite them. There are 130 active RCPL alumni currently as of 2024.
