Very bad, RACIST school

Hoerskool Ben Vorster Worst School
One of the worst schools in the country. They perform poorly in almost everything and don't even get me started on their teachers. They have the worst staff you can possibly find!!!!! I recommend you find yourself a better school if you are concerned with your kids future.
Racism
This school is racism camp 🤮😡
A review from a former student
Horrible school, apartheid regime racism, sexist discrimination, unpresent and abusive teachers, your child definitely wouldn't feel safe here, I had to change schools after my 3rd year because of how bad it had gotten. Kids are always leaving and there's multiple complaints from parents and students per week. Overall 1/5 and that's still being generous. Save yourself your money, time and dignity, escape while you can or don't apply.
Bad bad bad school!!
This was a school you'd look up to when growing up from Primary. Before this school I always thought racism wasn't real and was a myth. The teachers are well majority Afrikaans and yes they're very very biased to the people of their kind (Afrikaans kids). The school itself used to be great at sports and all but damn now it is dead, like literally there aren't any good athletes left. The racism you encounter at this school is unbearable, the white kids sit on white side and the black kids sit on one side, there are many experiences of racism that occurred in this school and I wish I could mention them all but you'd be lazy to read. But here's one, there was a day we had to shoot a school video which would be published for "#myschoolrocks" for Jacaranda FM. So as usual we went to the pavilion and white kids sat on one side and the black kids sat on one side, oh all of a sudden it was an issue for Fasondini who was the vice principal at the time and she said it would put a bad image on the school if we were separated. So she only had a problem with this when the cameras were on but besides that, nope it was fine she saw no issue. I mean even during bible period we would be separated, she saw no issue until there were cameras. The school itself we all know is racist, all these schools are, teachers calling us monkeys and hoping we go back to the jungle, yes a teacher said that. Namely mam Jacob's who's a spoiled "female dog" that lives off her husband's money. But hey I'm not surprised, racism will never end,I would highly recommend you go to a better school like Stanford if you can afford.
Hoërskool Ben Vorster? I don’t recommend.
This school, I always wanted to go there before. Ever since primary it was the biggest high school in Limpopo with sports, academics and everything.
But fuck me, this school is more racist than the Nazi could ever be. I’ve never seen racism like this I always thought it was a myth but I saw it myself. White kids during break time stay on their turf and black kids stay on their turf. There’s a video of these other Afrikaans kids who play rugby, whom saw these other 4 girls sitting where they usually sit during break and they were calling them names like ,”poes, fokken kaffer, apartheid” and so on in their Language and I think they didn’t know they could understand. Needless to say even during bible periods, yes bible periods, at the pavilion white people sit one side and black people sit the other side. The teachers and principal don’t seem to have an issue with this until this other time when we did a video for the school and suddenly Lara (Fasondini) had a problem with it cause it had a bad imagine on the video, she only cared about the separation when cameras were watching, needless to say about her fake smiles on us.
If you wish to end racism this is not the school to go to. Take your children elsewhere. Trust me.

Ben Vorster
I thini Ben Vorster is a wonderful school with great teachers that actually care about your grades and wellbeing. Ben Vorster challenges you mentally and physically and the people in this school motivate you to become a better person.

They separate blacks from whites in classes, at the pavilion and at the school hall. They make sure that a black child doesn’t sit next to a white child in all these settings. The teachers are biased towards the white kids.
The school uses the black kids as test dummies for teachers, that is, they give the black students the least skilled teachers to test if that teacher can actually teach a certain subject, while the Afrikaans/ white learners get the more skilled teachers.
They also have this system of excluding black kids from the school by saying they don’t accept learners from Townships or rural areas unless they play sports very well or stay at the hostel. This rule also applies to being a prefect. You can’t get elected as a prefect if you are from a rural area or from a township. This directly excludes a lot of black students from getting into the school and being a prefect.
The white teachers tend to tell black students that they should go to schools in a nearby township called Nkowankowa when they are disruptive, but they never say this to the white/ Afrikaans students. The racism in this school is insane.
This other time, we had to film a video for the TV channel called KykNet. We sat at the pavilion with whites on one side and blacks on the other side as per usual. When the episode aired, we noticed that they never showed any black people besides the helpers. These are just a few of many many examples of the racism I experienced at Hoerskool Ben Vorster. Don’t take your black child there unless you want them to have an inferiority complex for many years after leaving the school. Yes the matric pass rates are good but overall, it’s a bad school for a black child. Most of the black kids only do well because they attend extra classes elsewhere because most of the teachers that they are given don’t prioritise them and can be neglectful.
