Boksburg High School

I thought so highly of this school everything is about the culture of the school and the schools imagine not focusing on building the kids self esteem , the racism is on another level, if you love your child protect him/her from such environment

I just want to know why is boksburg high and cell phone free zone and why school they not have the type of hair they want to have

The school is very well organized and has great discipline... I highly recommend

BHS has many unnecessary rules and horrible teachers.

They only care about their status and looking down on other schools not realising how the children are so unhappy at the school.

Boksburg High school is a good school with some very horrible teachers. The racism in the school is astronomical. The only department I can say really does work hard to to make sure their students thrive is the English and Afrikaans department. Not saying that there is not problematic teachers in those departments but they do help their students alot. I wouldn't hope anyone would bring their child to this school as their first choice because I am 100% sure there is a better school out there.

Besides teachers bullying us and hurting our feelings the school is great. A lot of teachers especially maths teachers enjoy working with the students and some teachers even stay after school for no reason either than to help the students if they struggle with a topic, sadly I can't say the same about other teachers although I've noticed that different subject teachers act differently, the Afrikaans teachers do make fun of the students a lot and it does make the lesson more interesting but to a point it just gets sad. The English teachers are extremely intelligent and a lot of them have great personalities which make the lesson way more exciting to me personally (all I've said above only applies to the teachers I've gotten it might not be the same for others)

Boksburg high school takes pride in its academics. The school boasts a wide range of sport and cultural activities. The staff(teachers,ground staff,security and office personal)are well mannered and take their jobs seriously.

I am a Grade 11 pupil in Boksburg High School. I give this high school a very high rating because even though it is a government (or model c?)school,the academic and sport standards are very high. It is very well managed and our school days and events run very smoothly. I blame that on the discipline that is implemented throughout the school,however I will not give it a 5/5 star rating because there are some issues like: DRUGS!! are very easily accessible being that the school is located just next to a taxi rank,there are rules in place for this such as the "no pen cap rule" however the drug/substance use issue is on going. The use of drugs and substances are not always out of the blue and just because they're teenagers,hundreds of kids in the school are suffering from trauma and mental illnesses whether it stems from their home environment or other personal issues,therefore I think there is a massive need for therapy, programes,assemblies etc discussing this matter. It is crucial in a school to protect the children attending it everyday so there should be more "rules" regarding these issues. Most teachers at the school have been there many years and are very well qualified, however there is only now starting to be a more diverse group of teachers. There is very strict rules for dress and hair, this may seem great for parents who are wanting to keep their kids disciplined, however these rules can become tedious for parents for example parents being called in for tailored pants and the school shaving the heads of boys who have the wrong hair cut, it can all be just a bit dramatic, their is also a big problem regarding the girls of colour and their hair styles, the list of rules for black/coloured girls are not inclusive AT ALL! I say this with no bias however because I still do love my school. Boksburg high has sent alot of children to universities and colleges on scholarships for academics and sports. They have a wide range of sports including girls soccer and hockey. As well as a first aid course and an interact program. They have a tuck shop but no free eating plans for those in need. The cleanliness is very high and so is security and safety. We also work on a "house" system, separating all of the learners imto 4 houses where we compete and have alot of cultural events. We participate in many schooling events and often win because of the standards set at boksburg high and therefore I highly recommend this school.

The school is pretty much average Racism is hidden under the school code of conduct And teachers use their authority to bully leaners

Boksburg high school, is a school for those who want a future. BHS teaches every pupil the importance of working for what He/she deserve and wants. The teachers are excellent at their jobs,even their ways of teaching. BHS is not only neat and tidy it is also a great environment for students to learn .i personally feel that BHS is the best school in SA.Alot of parents and fellow pupils will agree.

Well the school is really nice and all its just the teachers are the problem. They full of themselves and try to fit in with the learners. The school has all these unnecessary rules that sometime don't even relate to school. Like the kids were asked if they wear the correct underwear,that's not the schools business. The way they talk to the kids is also a problem I would like y'all to look into this issue and stop being full of yourselves. There uu should also act a certain way and can't express yourself or be yourself. Some kids really feel like they in a prison and not at a school.

This school is so unnecessary. They even have a problem when you shoe laces are tied a certain way. They try to mAke you someone else. Nd I'm against that.
