With all due respect, I don't recommend the school to anyone. The school is corrupt beyond knowledge.
Learners are always smoking, the teachers don't stick to the English medium policy, which is unfair for other students who only understand English. (it doesn't matter if they're white they won't magically know Zulu, tswana or pedi).
Teachers don't even care about students mental health, they don't even watch their tone or launauge while speaking to the learners which is actually unfair and can cause suicidal thoughts.
(yah let that sink in)
Then ontop of all that how do you let the teachers fight with learners? How do you see that as a professional trade towards other school.
And also you have cameras all around school premises, yet you use them for useless things like tracking down people who twerk on social media 🤦‍♀️, before you look for so called internet stars look for problems within the school honestly you guys suck at protecting your kids and yourselves.
I haven't been so depressed at any school before in my whole life.
Hillview took the gawd damn cake. Yoh. No. This school needs to be shut down as soon as possible. And I'm taking this to heart.

Bounus paragraph: this is regarding a specific teacher. Before you kick out a learner in class for sleeping as them why? I hope that's not hard for you to do😘

Let's look forward for a better hillview.

Hillview already lacks in so many departments, but the best they can do is actually listen to thier students instead of scolding at them.
Students have been asking for more classes(subjects), better uniform i.e black pants and functional bathrooms(boys).
One of the main problems is not of the school, but the students themselves I and many others believe that bad students should be expelled not suspended.

Letter to staff of Hillview High School.

Hillview

Hillview high school takes the trophy when it comes to corruption and horrible behavior its a toxic learning environment where drugs , theft , bullying are at its prime and if you assume the School will get better you are awfully mistaken hillview will only get worse because of that principal. parents/learners don't enrol your children there because that would be the beginning of a never ending nightmare.

Bad review

The principal doesn’t care about the students all she cares about is work and achieving the pass rate without even putting the children first and the educational system is bad the classes aren’t worth the money we pay for school fees

Horrible hillview Hell🔥

Firstly the principal is definitely appointed by mistake.she chooses the security team over the safety and comfortability of learners. She is one-sided and definitely isn't qualified or trained to handle a school. She is exactly like the learners.This school definitely needs a new leader or it must shut down. Hillview is a very bad school. Do not take your kids there
