    The school is headed for total collapse.

    As of mid-2024, Vryburger is in a state of collapse. It was even in national news earlier this year. Basically a classic example of socialism in action; many parents simply stopped paying school fees, and there's nothing the school can do - so others stopped paying too. As I write I'm one of the 20% of parents who are paying school fees; yes, 80% are not paying for their children. As a result, many teachers have left and others, who went on strike for not being paid, were dismissed. At present t...

    The school is the best

    We love vryburger because they give us free burgers, there is free wifi and the school sometimes comes out at 12:00. We love Ntate ,he gives us sweets and he's friendly.

    It's not as good as it seams

    A lot of people boast about how amazing this school is but it isn't. It's way to corrupted and most of the teachers aren't even qualified for the subject they teach. The school is so disorganized we never know when our real break is or what time school comes out we can never let our transport know an exact time because they do what they want when they want without letting us know. As well as the corruption in the students is actually scary for example in my second week we already witnessed our first violent fight and instead of doing something everyone just watched, as well as a couple days into our exams of 2020 boys were forbidden to use the bathroom because students set it on fire. They don't understand that girls go through stages once I needed to go to the bathroom to chech up on myself I couldn't do that because it was considered disruptive behavior like wow. Some teachers are pretty good but others don't even teach eg our life orientation teacher is on her phone ALWAYS. Once she even asked us to listen to her music and follow her on Facebook because her music was just that important. I didn't even learn much from that class, our exam was literally written for grade 5 of 6 because the questions were so straight forward you could tell there was no real effort put into this exam. The principle is very picky he always blames the newest students or newwest grade 8 students for the corruption in the school like it's our fault the kids sneak drugs into school to sell it. If you drive past this school you'll see a lot of trees across the sports fields. Before covid under every tree was a group smoking or taking drugs and the teachers would leave them like they telling them its OK to put dangerous substances in your body we don't mind. The teachers are very careless schools closed now and I'm moving on to a new grade but my English teacher hasn't returned my exercise book even before the exam I had to borrow notes fork friends. I still haven't gotten the book back. As well as the fact that they expect students to pay for damages to textbooks but it was given to us in that state and they tell us it's our responsibility but even they were paying for it they should still do it with their part and try and fix the books instead of giving students broken torn up books and we expect to pay like over 200 for that and use it the whole year and then just give it back so don't expect us to keep it in such good condition. They don't even try to fix the books. And to top it all off they're so easily distracted they messed up my report if didn't say anything I would've walked home with someone elses mediocre marks while someone was going home with my really good marks. Once I heard a rumors that the teachers come on here to see what gets written about the school so they would pretend to be students and write EXCELLENT reviews that aren't even true

    The learner that appreciates their school

    Vrybuger for me has and still is a great school. There are sports like netball and soccer but we as a school are huge supporters of rugby. The teachers there are very good at teaching and give help and support us. When it comes to academics we are a good school I guess it's just learners that just do not want to learn. I as a grade 12 and an RCL of Vrybuger think that it really is a great school
