5 van my beste jare

As 'n leerder wat in 2020 by HSB matrikuleer het kon ek nie vir 'b beter plek gevra het om.my hoërskooljare te geniet nie. Van die onderwysers is regtig uitstekend. Die sport was lekker, die gees was briljant!!

Fantastiese skool waar elke kind tel. Onderwysers ken jou bd naam. Natuurlik met uitdagings soos by elke ander skool, maar hier tel jou stem nog. Veilig en uniek

Run. Far far away.

I left this school with so much trauma. The school is riddled with bullies, with the bullies existing in both the student body and the staff members. The three - maybe four at best - teachers who do care are diamonds in the rough, exceptions and most certainly not the rule. It has a racist, sexist and homophobic culture. I heard students freely use racial slurs such as “k*ff*r” and the school never addressed or condemned racial slurs and racism. I heard teachers openly be racist, homophobic and sexist.


Academics were sub par at best. Some good teachers, but the school is heavily lacking in the mathematics and science sections, as well as business studies, etc. Oh and they don’t even offer history or art.

If you’re not a rugby player or maybe netball player, your sport will not receive adequate attention or even money or other resources. If you’re not a cookie cutter perfect student in the staffs eyes, they will not encourage you or invest the same energy in you. Instead they will try to crush your spirit.

I left this school depressed, anxious and crushed. I was not the same person who entered a few years prior - the schools culture was detrimental to my physical and mental well-being. I had been bullied, oppressed and crushed. I don’t have many regrets in life. However, the little good that came out of this school (my meeting of some people who became friends) is far outweighed by the bad. I wish I could go back to being 13 and look at HSB and run as far as I could in the other direction. I still, many years later, suffer from anxiety thanks to my experiences there. I often dream that I am straight back in high school where teachers put me down for no reason and where I am made to feel inadequate, unworthy and undeserving.

Kinda bad tbh

Kinda bad...not all students get the same amount of attention and some get treated better than others for no reason... Some teachers aren't qualified and some are just rude... Children bully alot and some are very disrespectful... The curriculum is not the best and math is bad,in my class the teacher says almost nothing and expects u to know what's shes explaining on the whiteboard... The principle is rude and talks about students in front of others and calls them out for stuff they have done in the past... Some stuff are very disorganized and if u enter some classrooms u'll see clutter and disorganization.

Just meh...

Interesting
Have great cultural activities but not so great teachers.

Sports gets allot of attention, but only rugby.

Some teachers are really young and doesnt know what their doing. Really disrespectful children in that school. Some teachers arent even qualified.
