Extremely strict,unfair, and hidden hair and appearance policies
The truth about NSS
The principle is one of the worst there is. You get yelled at for stuff that should be dealt in private. Highly inappropriate. The teachers don’t teach and there are only 2 extra mural activities. 2!! The teachers don’t teach pour water on you , you get yelled at for being sick , you get yelled at for not staying home while you’re sick. Nobody cares for the grade 11
racial discrimination towards Indian pupils
I was bullied recently when I arrived at Noordwyk Secondary School.. I was teased, laughed at, compared by other pupils, they picked on me and they always tried to provoke me but I never did anything .. my classmates and other learners bullied me because of my race was different from their’s.. they talked behind my back and mocked me about my physical appearance .. they lowered my self esteem.. I wanted to commit sucide.. I attempted to several times.. I’m really concerned about my safety because I can’t take the bulling.. please can teachers explain to the learners to stop being racist and criticizing towards other students.. I tried reporting it to the teachers but the learners are trying to get at me.. I’m afraid they will harm me
Noordwyk secondary
I have been in this school for 4 years and it is the best school I have ever been to, there is discipline, neatness , good morals and values. Education management is good sometimes some place like the toilets don't look good but overall it is a good and improving school

A former Noordwyk Secondary School student
This school was a good school however, the school had many issues. Sometimes issues that should've been handled immediately was not handled at all. Some staff members were underqualified for certain subjects and did not teach to quality standards and when the matter was reported nothing was done. Bullying does happen at rare moments in the school and when it is reported the matter is not handled or resolved. Everything is just push aside and everyone is focused only on a 100% pass rate rather than the students themselves or the welbeings of them.

Best School In Midrand
Great school with a great staff members.The school is just great I went to the school a few months ago.
Proud to be a graduate from NSS
I graduated from this renowned high school in 2017.At first the school was under performing, and I had my doubts about teachers, scarcity of resources, etc. As years went by things gradually changed for the better.We even had our first excursion to Durban in 2017.My grade 12 teachers were the utmost best educators I could ever ask for. Lastly the principal really knows how to portray leadership, and has shown the best disciplinary ways throughout. I never thought I'd say this but I love that school to the core!

Review:
I want to warn prospective students and parents about Noordwyk High School. The school enforces very strict hair and appearance rules, but the worst part is that these rules are only revealed after you have already enrolled, which can be frustrating and unfair.
Some of the rules include:
Hair must always be tied and exactly 10 cm in length
No curly strands, dreadlocks, or boho hairstyles allowed
Edges (baby hairs) are prohibited
Colored hair or hair branding is banned
Boys are not allowed “nice” haircuts
Students cannot wear lipgloss
These rules are problematic because:
1. They disproportionately affect Black students, especially girls, and restrict natural hairstyles and cultural expression.
2. They limit personal freedom and self-expression, which is crucial for teenagers exploring their identity.
3. They treat boys and girls unequally, creating a gender bias in appearance standards.
4. They are unrealistic and restrictive, requiring hair to be tied at all times and limiting creativity and individuality.
The school claims these rules are for “neatness” and discipline, but they feel discriminatory and controlling. Parents and students should be fully informed about these policies before enrolling, so families can make informed decisions.
I strongly hope the school reviews and updates these policies to make them fair, inclusive, and respectful of cultural and personal,mind you the principal emphasized student must look ugly"
