Hoërskool F H Odendaal

I am extremely concerned about an incident involving the Grade Head at [School Name], who confiscated my son's tracksuit jacket and informed him that he would not be getting it back. While I understand that school rules exist for a reason, the decision to withhold a child’s only jacket in the middle of winter is deeply troubling and, in my view, not in alignment with the school’s responsibility to act in the best interests of its students.

My son has been previously warned, yes—but there must be a balance between enforcing discipline and showing basic human compassion. Punishment should not come at the cost of a child's health or well-being. My son now has no warm jacket to wear to and from school in cold weather. Where is the consideration for his physical safety?

I urge the school to reconsider its approach to discipline and to take into account the broader context, especially when decisions affect a child’s basic needs. Rules are important, but so is empathy. I hope to see more child-centered practices going forward.

Tjus just hive pushmemt on emotions
How can a school just hive a matrivulamys immediate suspension to a matriculant for a week.
Just because a student imitated the teacher.

I’m a former teacher from this school.
HOD didnt like me. So the HOD did everything to make me leave. The principal stood his ground for me to make the decision. But I left because of the Toxic HOD with her micromanagement.
Teachers form clicks, talk behind your back, just like teenagers.
Discipline isn’t great.
Some teachers are put into subjects they aren't qualified to teach.
I remember dreading going to work as this was a bad environment to work.

Hoërskool Fh Odendaal is an wonderful school.My sister is currently in grade 10 and she is loving it.Before going to Fh in grade 7 she went to Silverton Primary she had received an invitation from the highschool she is currently attending.
We all went together to tour the school.It was beautiful.
When you look around there is no litter and the gardens are well tended for.There is even a pick up area for parents and the security at the front entrance of the school.Inside the school is quite big.There are a few rooms that they train the learners to read to the level their grades require.In my opinion it is wonderful to see that it has such a program.It does well academically with a pass rate of 99%.As I have previously mentioned it is very safe as the security is there until 16:00 and the school can guarantee the learners safety.The activities are one of the most exciting things in the school some of which activities include:

Netball;Softball;hockey;Rugby;Cricket;Debate;Revue and more
so there are a wide range of activities all year long that keep your child active.The teachers are quite strict but this is very understandable as they have to work with highschool children but they are very kind as well not to mention understanding dare I say funny too. They also do not tolerate bullying so it is very unlikely you will see bullying.There are also drug searches once in awhile and smoking and drug use are prohibited on the school grounds.It is a very diverse school and every child is treated fairly with the respect they deserve.

They are very involved in the growth of the children.Every Wednesday they invite guests such as priests to teach them both biblical and life lessons

To sum it all up Hoërskool Fh Odendaal is a wonderful school would 100% recommend

It is school that allows you to study and have fun the same time. The teachers are very good and the way they discipline the learners is great
