Bad teachers
I hate the school the teachers there are so racist... the don't like black children at all .. the school should be reported with immediate effect .. and most teachers have a bad attitude i personally feel like if they have issues in their homes they shouldn't take them to school... they should also consider putting some swimming sport there it would be fun and interesting
HJV....
Some of the teachers could honestly do better, personality wise... And also, oh I don't know, respect our opinions!! Juss sayin'. Otherwise, the school is okay👌🏾
School okay but teacher’s are bad
Just the teachers are bad other then that the school is okay.
Former Student overall review
I personally didn't find a lot of fault with this school. No school is perfect hence i say "a lot of fault". We will all always see our own different problems. Some student complained about racism which i dispute. I am colored and i did experience the racism from students whilst i was a learner a the school, but , i didn't get it from a teacher. I was very good in athletics and i was recognized despite my race or skin colour. I always took pride and still take pride in the discipline the school has and the unity in terms of uniform and sports wear. It is neat and beautiful!
I feel you can not be non white and want to blame race for everything, stand your ground so they know you are aware what you are there for and they will respect you. To the white students at the school, please leave your negative mind sets at home. We are a new generation, and if you can't adjust, don't make it uncomfortable for the next person because we all pay the same fees therefore deserve the same treatment. To the non white students, stop playing victim and stand your ground. That is a good school and if you work hard, like any other school, they will help you become a better version of yourself

My skool
Ek is mal oor die skool die juffrouens gee baie om en is altyd daar
Reasons to why I gave 1 star.
The lady's at the receptionist is extremely rude, the teachers can be rude aswell and not helpful, if you don't feel well or feel sick it's always a no, so if you'd faint it's still a no.
We aren't allowed to bring scissors to schoolso we get cut and paste work for homework aswell as our other homework that's alot.
Our school is aswell far behind with their work than other's, and then at the end of the day we need to get alot of homework and alot of work in class because the school doesn't care about them having their school work for us in order.
The children are extremely rude at times and most don't have respect to other's, there is so many bullys that the school doesn't know of and if they do like the teachers they do nothing.
Most of the teacher's has favorites and that is unfair to alot of children.
The tuck shop guy(Oom kassie) is the best, I know I wasn't allowed to mention any personal but that man I appreciate alot, he is the nicest, funniest person of everyone in that school yard!
We not allowed to wear normal clothes once a month because some kids were disrespectful now we need to get punished for they doing.
On the tryouts for athletics they force you to do activities.
On sports tryouts, for example netball they aswell only pick favorites and pupils parents who pay the teachers to get the A team or first team.
Overall the school is not the best for some pupils.

At first it was really good, really great teachers I did well. Grade 11, can’t complain because covid struck but matric? It was awful. We got taught well by certain teachers but what bugged me about this school was how they handled certain issues. A huge incident went down where there was white Afrikaans boys drawing Swastikas around the whole school. They did not do anything about this until the day my mom saw a big one drawn and she went to the deputy head. Both the deputy head and principal did not know what it was and what it symbolises. They were suspended for three days and and wrote “apology” letters which were so pathetic. I stood up for this and made a big deal when I saw one on a desk. My teacher called me disruptive and rude when I was trying to explain this. It didn’t end but they didn’t stop me from bringing it up. This was alot of emotional damage for both me and my sister. Now what would have happened if a upside down cross was drawn around the school? Immediate expulsion yet we were so disrespected by this? Horrible
