Abstract
Historically disadvantaged schools are mostly in a position where they cannot
easily practise entrepreneurial customs like innovation, proactiveness and risktaking.
However, some of these schools perform well under similar circumstances
and show strong entrepreneurial inclinations. In fact, in research
conducted in 2006, Lebusa and Xaba found that there were very strong
prospects of fostering entrepreneurial customs at historically disadvantaged
schools. It was found that schools were already practising innovativeness,
proactiveness and risk-taking, albeit unintentionally. We report on the practice
of innovativeness, proactiveness and risk-taking at historically disadvantaged
schools. Case examples of three successful entrepreneurial historically disadvantaged
primary schools are presented. Results indicate novel and innovative
ventures undertaken at these schools and clearly indicate that some historically
disadvantaged schools are indeed entrepreneurially oriented
