Westville Gilrs' High School

These negative writups about Westville Girls High School do not surprise me.I have a daughter in Grade 10 there. Walking around many other schools such as Westville boys,Glenwood ,I was greeted regularly by pupils pleasantly with'"Afternoon Sir". No such pleasantries at WGHS. WGHS prides itself on academics.unfortunately thats where it ends.The sport and culture is non existant.I was always under the impression that a decent school aimed to produce well mannered,well rounded individuals. As for school pride.Well,thats non existant. The school has a poor future ahead!

I have matriculated from WGHS and I am so thankful I have, the education was good however there is no management in the school. Facilities are not kept maintained eg. leaks in roofs and no fans in most classrooms, and instead of maintaining the school it is being decorated by paintings. There is very little sisterhood or care about the students and teachers of the school, and half the time nobody knows what is happening. Would not go back.

I am a WGHS old girl in my second year of university. Reflecting back on my high school experience I can honestly say that WGHS was a home away from home (considering I didn't really go out much). Academically, it pushed me to my limits and at times it was daunting but when I sat down to write my final matric exams I was prepared beyond what I'd realised. This school offers so many opportunities to its learners and most teachers are eager to help wherever they can so the girls can achieve their full potential. Cultural and sporting activities are a full part of the experience, and every learner has the prerogative to partake in what interests them. The school makes it their priority to ensure all the learners feel welcomed and included, thus creating avenues for greater understanding of races, cultures and religions. WGHS has excellent IT and library facilities providing learners with all the resources they could ever need. Furthermore they try to foster a sisterhood amongst each individual within the school. Each generation of WGHS girls will differ in temperament but for the most part they are likely to find commonground through the years. WGHS ensures this through various activities that exist for the purposes of comradery-building. If you have any qualms with the school it is often easy to access admin and they will try to find a solution to ease the issue. Your daughter is even able to access the principal and deputy-principal if a situation calls for it, but on a whole WGHS is efficient about discipline and taking care of their girls. The members of the school (staff and students alike) take great pride in it and priority is placed on ensuring that the school maintains its prestige. I am very proud to have been a pupil there and I would recommend this high school to all parents who want to send their daughters to a place where they are prioritised and are going to succeed. This school will give them all the tools they need to get into a good university or to handle the challenges of reality. The onus then falls on them to make good use of those tools. I wish you the best of luck in school-searching!

I am a grade 9 learner and I feel like I'm part of a sisterhood. The facilities and environment are absolutely excellent. The morals and values they teach me and help equip me for the future. Ithe teachers are great and they put their learners first. They make sure our health and mind are okay.
