The Settlers High School: Review based on my experience
I can personally tell you my experience at this school. Settlers has its flaws and upsides but I have to strongly mention and insist on this.
The majority of boys bathrooms cubicles don't have latches to lock them. This is because of naughty kids vandilising property that doesn't belong to them,and I would say since this is an ongoing problem they are never replaced and it seems like the school isn't taking harsh enough measures to end this pirsiting problem.
School grafity is almost every where in bathrooms doors, change rooms,bubble gum under desks are all a common sight in this school.
Boys specifically don't seem to be punished for hanging shirts that aren't tucked in. This would obviously create a bad etiquette for this school.I'm sure this is a clear sign of lack of discipline towards older grades.
Code of conduct is excessively harsh towards learners who are late for atleast three times a week! And possibly sit Saturday detention. Sometimes it's inevitable to arrive late at school but you're still punished.
But honestly the school has a lot to offer in terms of sports and academics. Some of the teachers I have been taught by have always tried their best to ensure we get a wonderful education and learning experience.
But obviously every school has its flaws and upsides,but I'm not just a bit happy about some of the way things work at The Settlers High School.
The school is excellent in academic wise but my kids have been complaining about the no social distancing during the movement of classes and I think bringing all the grades back to school every day is a terrible idea as the school would be making a covid hotspot
tbh , over all a good school, the vibe , the people , the energy and the diversity . The facilities are good , the teachers are good at their jobs and over all its a really fun school if you're looking to meet new friends and experience different things , maar ek moet sê , daars mos lekker slange in hierdie skool . Jy moet nou lekker pasop, but now other wise , the girls there , sjoeee , mooi , ek kan niks oor die boys sê nie .. eish . If u are a lekker social butterfly that likes to dance , play dominoes and make fun of the teachers .. The Settlers Highschool is the place for you .
Maybe I'm being biased but Settlers is quite nice for a public school. It's very focused on providing a quality education and high school experience, while also encouraging a balanced lifestyle for the students with many sports and cultural activities. The school is very diverse and has a vibrant atmosphere. Although there's room for improvement, I do recommend the school. Solid 7/10!
The Settlers high is the greatest school you could go to and it has a great reputation for it's academics and cultural activities. I still attend the settlers and so far ,im loving it!The vibe you get from the settlers is really amazing and they really strive for the best for their learners (even though it may seem unnecessary by the way we always do things other schools don't do).of course there are a few flaws in the settlers but it's not really major compared to most schools.if you are looking for a good high school then I suggest you go to the settlers high school.
I just think this school is so amazing. From the beautiful views of Table Mountain to the buzzing of The Settlers learners, I am proud to be part of this school. This school is not only on point with Academics but involves three other pillars,namely, sport, Culture and Pastoral.This is not only the foundation of The Settlers High School but also the foundation of every learner and staff member.This provides a balanced education to the learners, preparing them for the future, for when they have to leave the Settlers nest. The spirit dwelling within The Settlers family is so phenomenal with unity that can never be lost. There may be ups and downs, but as a school we face them together, celebrating the victories and learning from our losses.I am proud to be part of this school
The code of conduct was extremely strict and ridiculous at times,favouritism always occured regarding the prefects and the school is supposedly a mathematics and science focused school but there were barely any good physics teachers
