Bellville Hoërskool

This school is amazing on all levels, academic, sport and culture aswell as leadership, i am currently a learner, i am a leader at my school and the attention we and all the other kids get is amazing, the sports instructors are great, aswell as the teachers.

I am in matrix currently and i will say that Bellville is handeling the covid-19 very well.

I am currently a student at Hoërskool Bellville. Bellville values academics very highly which I definitely amend them for. They motivate us the best they can, even if it means adding a bit of pressure. But they also encourage us to participate in many curricular activities outside of academics on both sport and cultural sides. The principal expects nothing but the best for each field. What he doesn't take into consideration is the fact that it is extremely difficult for a high school child to be divided into a million different pieces. We have to perform well academically whilst keeping our fitness up and squeezing in time for drama or choir. When the children struggle to keep up, the principal simply doesn't care. Fortunately though there definitely are excellent teachers at Bellville, I will even single a couple out. The English Department including teachers like Ms. Van Lill and Ms. Stassen are extraordinary. They have a passion for their subject and it draws passion from the students. Another example is Mr. Joubert who teaches biology. He absolutely loves what he teaches and it makes me hang on his every word, looking forward to the next lesson. Our physics teacher, Ms. Toerien, is just as amazing! Who would have imagined that it is possible to make physics interesting? So despite the principal's pressure, these teachers as well as the genuine vibe of the students, make attending Bellville worth while. Paratus Ad Omnia

Bellville High has made me love school. From offering amazing activities like being able to partake in the annual MTBS-pavillion or MTBS-Athletics, to debate, archery, hockey, rugby, netbal, cross-country, mountain-biking, swimming, tennis, stage makeup, drama, public speaking, tug-of-war, horse riding and so much more. Bellville encourages and inspires us, as students, to partake in at least one activity from winter/summer sports, and one cultural activity, because the school's vision states that a envolved child is a happy child. Bellville can be proud of their outstanding orchestra and choir, ranking as respectively the number one in the country for High Schools. Bellville is also the only school in the Eastern and Northern Suburbs who is still fully Afrikaans-medium, a haven for Afrikaans-speaking children. The staff share a bond unlike anything I have seen before, something which unites the learning powers to be able to provide the learners with the best possible education necessary. This is also why Bellville High is rated as the top-public school based on matric academic achievement in the Northern- and Eastern Districts, achieving a 7-year 100% matric pass rate, with a 2019 BA-release of 94,1%. Bellville takes pride in all they do and unite together when needed to be #strongertogether. #paratusadomnia Thank you Bellville for making me believe in myself again. Ek sal altyd 'n trotse leeu bly.

From experience I can say that Bellville high school had contributed to my academic, sport and social well-being. The attention given to academics is far above any other local school. Bellville made school enjoyable en memorable.

Hoërskool Bellville is a excellent school , academically and where sports and athletics are concerned. They just need to let the school come out a bit earlier on Fridays like any normal school would.
