Anti individuality and no community

Greenside High School’s motto is individuality through community. However has a student starting from grade 10 and finishing Matric I had faced many dilemmas throughout my schooling. One of which was the excess bullying. Starting off in grade 10 I had little time to adapt to the school culture and environment, and this was prevalent amongst my peers. Many of whom had the pleasure of finding my existence entertaining. I was often the subject of ridicule and harassment. From being forced into catfishing text messages to getting weird and random phone calls set up by my peers. Not to anyone’s surprise things got bad the following year in grade 11. It seemed that whatever I did like water sending ripples down my actions seemed to echo. No matter what I did every small action I took everyone needed to know about. I am writing this review to spread awareness of the amount of insane bullying I had experienced. I’m sorry to say but it left me with deep scars that will take time to fully recover. I certainly hope no pupils will have to endure what I went through. I hope the educators and principal can allow vulnerable and new students a safe space to allow themselves to become familiar and comfortable in their new environment and to shed light on their issues.

I want to end this review on positive note, it may be too late for me but for the new comers to the school please I beg Greenside High School to do what it failed me. To make them feel like their home.

Sbusiso Matjeni's Greenside highschool review

I am currently in Greenside highschool and so far the experience has and is pretty great. I have got to experience things I never thought could from a school. It is safe and you feel comfortable not only because of the environment but the teachers who are always ready and waiting to hear any and all problems you may have and to top it of they have a psychologist. Overall great

General Concept

The school does have a lot of interesting activities such as debating and sport. But the main problem is that some of the teachers can be a bit disorganized, not to mention that some of the kids there have a pretty bad attitude towards some peers. They constantly make a ruckus and no one seems to give a damn about what they do. Sometimes I wonder whether or not they actually do realize that their behavior is unacceptable. Although you do get people there who care about their results, these are usually the people who seem so dull about everything, thus it makes it tedious to talk to them. To conclude what I have just said, the school does have some potential to improve, but furthermore it is a pretty fun school to go to.

Greenside high school

Greenside high review

Greenside is an amazing school.I am currently doing my 10th year and it’s going fantastic.I was at orientation on the 8th of February 2021 ,everything went as planned ,everything was in order .our deputy principal ,talked about the LGBTQ community and the ‘pronouns’ topic.Most schools don’t talk about that because they don’t care ,but for the fact that he takes time to do his research about such important topics to us as teenagers ,makes me glitter up !The school caters for everything ,whoever you are,personality,culture ,background,talents ,everything is there for you .Let me not even get started with the education system ,it’s EXCELLENT.All I can say is ,I wish they allowed us to celebrate heritage day ,we don’t !.Overall its an amazing school

Bullying factor

The amount of bullying and harrassment in greenside is unacceptable. I was a former student there and frankly the teachers do not care about kids being bullied but they will make a huge scene if somebody has incorrect uniform. Amongst the greenside learners there is no discipline, no mannerism and no respect towards one another. I eventually moved out of the school by grade 11 because my peers there were very badly mannered.

Greenside High School review

I am always so thankful that I actually go to Greenside High because the school is great and I always have enjoyed going to school.There are different extra murals for everyone. The school does not tolerate bullying or racism and those are very important topics especially with what is going on in the world. Obviously every school has its up and downs but I have learned so much about myself and I will always be grateful for Greenside High School.

Greenside High School

Listening to other students from different schools made me realize that I am privileged to be in Greenside High school, the quality of education, the democracy and the environment itself makes me honored and I don't think I could've received a better opportunity to be the better me that I dreamt of becoming. I am truly privileged

Every school has its ups and downs. That's a fact. But its whats on the inside, the teachers, the kids, the family that make it worth while.
With Greenside, it comes with stringent rules. That's no doubt. But behind that is a family that will stick together no matter what. Greensiders are taught to have each others backs.
With an outstanding nationwide famous drama department that sends kids to the joburg theater, or the sports department that has kids in rallies for days to support their school. Whether its the swim team winning at every gala or the robotics team flying overseas to compete.
Its always about or family and the greatness we achieve.
There's nothing more. There goes days where we say we don't love each other, but we wouldn't change our school for anything.
