Hoërskool Roodepoort

I'm a student at Roodies. The teachers and principal are great, they really try to keep the school in order. But the problem is the new wave of students. Because of the govt choosing kids after COVID , they have been accepting these bad kids that ruin the schools name. Kids who bunk , don't study, smoke and lower the schools class a averages. They should go back to accepting hard working students with good reports in primary. The govt ruined that school!!!!

This school may have a thing or two going for them academics wise and sports wise but other than that the way they handle their students is very poor, they are still a few racist teachers as well as uncultured staff as they are constantly fighting with students of a different ethnicity and religion due to them being different there was a Muslim student who was told he could not wear a religious head piece as well as a few Zulu girls who could not wear their cultural animal bracelets they also insist in their parent teacher meetings that there is work being done when their isn’t they lie and deceive the parents of their learners and they will not take your part unless you look or speak like them overall this school is the worst ever so unless you looking to one for the rugby or netball please stay away for you’re own sake

Going to school here for the past 4 years has been absolutely shit

That's the best school I've ever been to...I mean the teachers,the school it's self,they don't take bullying lightly...but the thing is the primary that I come from had school dresses(tunic not sure if I spelt that right)as part of their uniform and i use to wear it everyday i was not use to a skirt...so i would have loved it if the school also had dresses...so we can choose if we're wearing skirts/dresses/school pants...that would make school life a lot easier
