Fish Hoek High School

School is great, adequate in most areas! There are a few slight issues firstly with the teachers themselves some are to strict and will shout at students for the most ridiculous reasons I once had a teacher publicly scream at me outside the lecture theatre for my pants being to short when they reached far beyond my shoes? Absolutely bizarre and this behaviour is common. Teachers seem to take out all their stress on the students, not to mention most of them being old fashioned which comes with the obvious racism and sexisim. Principle has a power trip and is unpleasant to follow. Otherwise school is great, amazing extra murals culture departments are absolutely fabulous. Wide range of technical and theory based subjects. Ample support from counselling department. School has potential however needs to get their Staff and management in line!

Fish Hoek High School is an amazing school. Learners of all races, religious beliefs and LGBTQi Status all thrive at this wonderful school. The recent event which was a WCED arranged event, although completely unacceptable has paved the way for this event to be used as a political mud slinging match. Everyone gets on well, staff and learners alike. Had this school been guilty of any form of discrimination, would the "unhappy" learners achieve excellent academic results, excellent results in the arts as well as sport?

Enough is enough. There has been so many disregarded acts of racism, homophobia and transphobia in this school, not only by other students, but by the teachers as well. Do better, Fish Hoek High School.

you guys harassed me which affected my education. i was nearly suspended over wearing shorts instead of a tiny skirt. i was nearly suspended for a week because of a piercing which wasn't that visible. i was not allowed to go home despite having endometriosis which causes me to have awful cramps which make me scream. micromanage your students to the point where they can't focus on actually learning. so glad i'm gone now. you guys suck.

Both my children and many family members have or still attend Fish Hoek High School. Not one of them has ever experienced any form of racism, seen racism in any form. The school is very progressive in all ways. I cannot recommend the school highly enough.

As a parent of 2 kids who both enjoyed all their High school lives l can confidently recommend FHHS . There is a wide range of subjects, sports and extra murals. There is transparency and great communication channels. For as long as you do your best and shout for help you are guaranteed 100% support. From Principal, teachers to cleaners there is a great sense of unity. It is very rewarding to be part of this school and be actively involved in the life of the school.

I loved FHHS! They have a wide range of subjects taught by teachers who are both serious about the work and entertaining at the same time. We were all lead by an amazing headmaster who did his best to be accommodating to everyone. He had an excellent way of deciphering whether an offender needed to be punished or receive treatment.
I had such a wonderful time as dance studies is taught unlike many other schools.
Thank you so much FHHS for preparing me for life.,

The teachers and counsellors offer me lots of support to help me overcome my learning barriers. The huge range of subject choices has allowed me to follow my dreams. There are so many extra-murals that you can never be bored. I really like the teachers and you get back from the teachers what you put in. The 2020 Matric results were so phenomenal that it has made me very excited about when I write my own Matric exams in two years time.

In my experience my teachers make an effort to personal development in your subject and are easily approachable.

4 generations of my family have attended FHHS. Wonderful all round education, culture and sport. Dedicated staff who go the extra mile.

I recently completed matric at FHHS. My experience at the school was amazing. I was challenged academically and socially, and I was able to develop my interests and skills through various after school programmes.
The school, however, is not perfect. There are still some old teachers who are stuck in the past. They are retiring year-by-year, and being replaced by young, dynamic and open-minded teachers. A good % of teachers are lgbt, which helped me when I started to explore my own sexuality.
My only negative opinion of the school is the few staff members who are discriminatory. I could name 4 teachers who have an outdated mindset of society. Hopefully they will retire soon and be replaced by a new era. Society has moved past the need for bigots and fools.

Fish Hoek High School needs to get their systems in check. Racism gets brushed off, but once a student has a streak of blonde in their hair... DRESS CODED. The school has blatant indirect and direct racism towards students, and once these issues get brought to other teachers, we get told they can’t comment on the issue. Let’s not even forget the time a teacher told a group of Xhosa speaking girls to stop speaking that language and instead speak english, but this issue was never discussed and was then instead swept under the rug.

Im currently a student at the school, the teachers language is foul, some of them are extremely entitled and insulting, you’re often spoken down too. when *** ***** was still there she felt okay calling female students tarts and sluts and singling out learners to embarrass them.
Girls being told “put on a jacket” when you wear a strappy top.
or “you can’t wear that, cover up”
absolutely ridiculous

Fhhs is the worst high school

There are many cases at this school where the students and teachers had bump heads, and guess who gets a detention, their parent called and put on daily report. Teachers aren’t being held accountable for the stuff they say or do, whether it’s unfair treatment to poc or sexist comments about what girls decide to wear. My friend had an incident with a teach this morning and was sent to the principal where he told her that she should be the bigger person and apologies to a teacher, who is a grown woman that overreacted. I absolutely hate this school and can’t wait to leave.

Fish Hoek High is a great school.My Frist year in FHHS was 2018 grade 8. As an individual I felt welcomed and proud to be a student at FHHS, and I still do.
The teachers give us wonderful lessons, our classmates make them memorable.
Fish Hoek High is a very determined school to help us learners reach our future goals.

I recommend the school to anyone looking to better their sporting

School has racist teachers, when racist situations happen in front of teachers toward poc they tend to ignore it and move on like nothing happens, some teachers are straight forward racist like this teacher known by Mrs pretorius admitted she was racist in 2018 when students told her off about being racist when she was looking after us because our dance teacher wasn't there. There are many other racist teachers there but I can't speak about it since I was not there to see for myself.
..but what I can say is that the principal will always cover up racism in some way.

Most teachers always try to pick fights with the kids at the school for really irrelevant reasons. A simple thing like asking for another explanation or disagreeing with a fact can land you in detention. The social experience is amazing but as a working and learning environment the school fails to make us feel welcome and like our education matters, it's more like they just want us to do that work and that's it.

I did not think it was a good school for academics or if you want to excel in sports, although the culture aspect was very good. I don't believe that all of the teachers are enthusiastic when it comes to academics.

I am a Grade 8 student and I find the teachers very pleasant and it's fun to learn all the teachers learning preferred learning styles like one loves to tell stories and another likes to give us time to try things before we do it as a class to see how well we know the topic we are learning and even in this time of need they are taking time out of their day to make sure we get the best education they can give us♥️♥️♥️♥️ Fish Hoek High school also has an amazing principle who enjoys what he does and makes sure we are safe in and outside of school so over all I think Fish Hoek High school is a great place to be.
