Bad experience as a teacher
Working at JG Meiring was one of the worst professional experiences I’ve ever had. The school environment is chaotic, unsafe, and completely mismanaged. Many learners are openly disrespectful, aggressive, and out of control. I was verbally and physically abused by learners multiple times, and despite reporting every incident, management chose to ignore it. Nothing was done to protect staff, hold learners accountable, or improve the situation. The message was loud and clear: teachers are on thei...

My honest experience
Principal is the rude and the worst person a school could have as principal, and the teachers are so rude it's as if 'I am here to disrespect you' is written on my forehead. They are the first to preach about respect during assembly but can't give it.If you hate your child send them to j.g meiring (The worst school in the Country)

So bad
JG Meiring Downfall. I've been at JG since 2022. The decrease in quality is substantial. In 2022 the school was about decent although I had no Math teacher for over three weeks. There were a bit of fundraisers and the school had a mix of camaraderie and experience. But in 2023 the hole began to gape. Teachers leaving after 2 weeks , fights happening 3 times a day and fundraisers decreasing dramatically despite school fees not being payed. The schools discipline system began to fall apart and det...

The school has too many massive red flags!
As a resident living right next to the school gate, and seeing and hearing the school kids every day I can say with certainty that I will NEVER send my own child to JG Meiring High. The learners are completely out of hand, and the very frequent fights in the streets and those you hear happening during break time are a true reflection of it. The school principal and administration are dismissive and quite frankly don't care at all when residents have something to say about the disgusting behaviour like the smoking openly everywhere around the school area the moment they set foot outside the gate, rowdy and terrible language, not to mention the number of kids jumping over the back fence to bunk every single day. As a parent, the school just has too many massive red flags. I would think that that's the reason for their massive educator turnover rate too. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes. September 2023

Emotional damage
J.g meiring was an outstanding school until the late Mr T.I Linderts passed away.I remember when I got into trouble and was sent to his office (grade 8,2017) he wholehearyedly told me and my partner in crime, "you are here at this school so we can teach your how to behave in society." The new principal on the other hand is outright degrading and has made a learning environment feel like a dictatorship even some of the teachers agree with me on this one. This person came to the school as a teache...

Good school
The school is fine and all but it is not as welcoming to the black community most of the schools even the ones that were built during apartheid give you an opportunity to choose between Xhosa and Afrikaans but this school chooses for you because there are some learners who do not know Afrikaans but they are forced to do it other than that it is a nice school

Semper Nostra Optima
Very welcoming and social, you always leave with something new learnt. Teachers go out of their way to make sure that their learners have all they need in order to perform at their best.
