Only Afrikaans
Claims to be half Afrikaans and English, however they make no attempt to accommodate the English side. Some teachers can't speak a link of English yet are supposed to teach the English kids swell in mixed classes or they only teach in Afrikaans with no thought for the other half of students. The tuckshop pricing is ridiculous for a school. ALL the assemblys, announcements, entertainment and activities are ONLY in Afrikaans, unless its to do with money. After school prayers all in Afrikaans. Lead...

Ignorance will cost you your future.
Academically, Monnas sucks. All they worry about is Rugby, Rugby and more Rugby. Cultural, they are OK. There is unfortunately a problem of racism at the school. Not recommended.

Shitty school if your not white or Afrikaans
School lacks diversity on all fronts. It is true they they focus on sports rather than academics specially to the students who are given sports bursaries. No academic support is provided for them to excel on both academic and athletic platforms. The micro aggressions faced by students of colour are ignored and you NEED to understand Afrikaans because that’s the MAIN language of communication. English students are rarely catered for outside of the class/teaching section. As an English student who...

Excellent balanced school.
To everyone saying Monument just focus on sports, you are totally wrong. I don't participate in a single sport activity. I focus on academics and a whole range of cultural activities from dance, to vocal music, instrumental music to drama, debate, public speaking and everything in between. I have received colors for both academics and culture. You just need to stop complaining and stop focusing on everyone around you and focus on yourself and what you are good at.

They focus more on sports than academics. There's alot of bullying.

All about rugby
All they care is about is rugby!! No time to focus on learners who achieve academically. All the praise go to the rugby players more than 80% have honours and colours just because they have scholarships,whislt my daughter has work four year to get academic colours and missed it by 1% but they would not give her the award.

Sport > academy
This is the most sport driven school i know, yes to motivate sport is good, but it's unhealthy to leave your academy behind, we know of students who gete passed, but failed just because they or on a scholarship

Dissatisfied
I wasn't happy with my years in this school. Not all the teachers are kind and caring. They say bullying is not tolerated but I've known of so many bullied kids who were brushed away because the case "wasn't serious" but they got thrown down stairs and pushed off chairs. As far as the academic side goes, they are more worried about sport and want to force a whole years worth of work into you within 5 months.
