Uncle Polla started in 1993, supplying secondhand books to learners. The shop is situated under the Japie Krige Hall on the grounds of Paul Roos Gymnasium, and the core business is school books.

Presently learners from Paul Roos Gymnasium, Stellenbosch High School, Rhenish Girls' High and Bloemhof Hoër Meisieskool are supplied directly with new and/or secondhand books and stationery. A wide range of study guides are available.

The full range of sportswear, satchels, socks, ties, etc. is supplied new. We also offer secondhand uniforms to Paul Roos learners.
