A horrendously unreasonable school
This school is not only mentally draining but also it is very unfair and unreasonable when it ces to learners opinions. Since ethe code of conduct changed we have been struggling a lot based off hair issues since they believe that hair extensions r a distraction to education. They should just except that their level of teaching is poor and not take it out on the learners privileges. And they should stop trying to compare our school with other schools, if u as a principal r in charge of a scho...

A needed learner
Dear hillview high, My daughter is in need of a school due to no other space and she's been rejected at hillview because she does setswana at her recent school and I had applied for grade 10 and I feel like it's not fair because my daughter has done Afrikaans from grR-gr6 so may you please find space for her. Kind regards, Paballo Kekana

Hillview High School – My Honest Review
I have never seen a school so obsessed with appearances yet so careless about its students’ actual education, safety, and well-being. Let’s start with the fact that Hillview still clings to outdated, whitewashed standards. You can’t wear your hair the way you want no braids, no dreads, no cornrows, no styled baby hairs. It’s 2025, and they’re still policing Black hair. Ridiculous. Now onto the teachers. Some try I’ll give them that. But most? They don’t teach, don’t show up, or just hand you...

It's rapidly getting amazing!
To be severely honest, hillview used to be a bad school but the more rules where added the more it's improving, learners with bad behavior is severely decreasing and it's honestly very impressive. I as a hillview learner I'd suggest this school for your child. The teachers are splendid and do their job very well!

Hillview
With all due respect, I don't recommend the school to anyone. The school is corrupt beyond knowledge. Learners are always smoking, the teachers don't stick to the English medium policy, which is unfair for other students who only understand English. (it doesn't matter if they're white they won't magically know Zulu, tswana or pedi). Teachers don't even care about students mental health, they don't even watch their tone or launauge while speaking to the learners which is actually unfair and can c...

Let's look forward for a better hillview.
Hillview already lacks in so many departments, but the best they can do is actually listen to thier students instead of scolding at them. Students have been asking for more classes(subjects), better uniform i.e black pants and functional bathrooms(boys). One of the main problems is not of the school, but the students themselves I and many others believe that bad students should be expelled not suspended. Letter to staff of Hillview High School.

Hillview
Hillview high school takes the trophy when it comes to corruption and horrible behavior its a toxic learning environment where drugs , theft , bullying are at its prime and if you assume the School will get better you are awfully mistaken hillview will only get worse because of that principal. parents/learners don't enrol your children there because that would be the beginning of a never ending nightmare.

Bad review
The principal doesn’t care about the students all she cares about is work and achieving the pass rate without even putting the children first and the educational system is bad the classes aren’t worth the money we pay for school fees

Horrible hillview Hell?
Firstly the principal is definitely appointed by mistake.she chooses the security team over the safety and comfortability of learners. She is one-sided and definitely isn't qualified or trained to handle a school. She is exactly like the learners.This school definitely needs a new leader or it must shut down. Hillview is a very bad school. Do not take your kids there

Behavior
Very corrupt and Wild school. Students do as they want. They running the school as if there are no school rules. You get bullies. Physical and cyberbullling. They don't wear their uniform in a proper manner.
