Northcliff High School

The balance of academics and sports are really great and kids are motivated and supported to do their best.

In all honesty the school does not take consideration for students who mentally struggle with school as a whole. The school hides serious matters under exploitation of authority and white privelage which affects students I'm very harmful ways. The school needs to improve the control of bullying, racism, homophobia and harassment by communicating with students on these matters. Poc students and people who come fr various religious backgrounds have little to no recognition in the school and are continuously undermined by white people. The education system is very poor due to the unnecessary topics that are being taught repeatedly and have not been updated to recent time. Engagement with students on these topics on current time can help improve work ethic and help with freedom of communication in classrooms. Needless to say I have made amazing friends that have helped me grow as a better person and stand up for what I believe in. Hopefully the school can face their faults and acknowledge what they're doing is wrong and need to change for the better of the future.

I personally haven’t noticed the racism at all— but students with more money are favoured in the school. The teachers choose favourites and don’t assist the students they ‘don’t like’ when asking for help

I’ve been at northcliff high school for the past 3 years and I gotta say it has been the worst experience of my life,Racism ,favouritism etc all they look at is how we look eg our hair & dress code and they have such unnecessary school rules and for the racism it will never stop Not recommended for anyone.

Northcliff high is an amazing school. It has an amazing sport programme.

Northcliff High creates a family atmosphere where u feeel like you apart of something, they push you to new academic levels

Absolutely phenomenal school. Transformed me from a timid shy little boy who couldn't make friends into a head boy. NHS has given me amazing opportunities and the blue flame will always burn brightly within my heart.

Very good school! Wish I could go back for another 4 years. Greatest of my life!!!!!!

Yes the drama department and choir and extra mural sports are great... But most of the teachers don't care about the students and only care about getting the work done that they need to do to look good for their employers... And if they cannot teach that subject well and most of the children fail a test they blame it on the children for not studying hard or long enough or not paying attention in class when in actual fact the teachers don't allow you to speak your mind or ask more than 2 or 3 questions per class otherwise you're being "to talkative" or "disrupting the class" And for the older grades concerning the younger ones... In the beginning at orientation they are very welcoming and helpful but towards the middle of the school year and end of the school year they treat the younger grades like trash and expect you to follow whatever instructions they have I forced, even if they are unnecessary for example my friends and I were sitting near the field area and a group of grade 12s and the head girl were sitting on the steps and were shouting at grade 8s because they just were sitting in the spot they wanted to and were telling them "you guys are so ungrateful" "do you even know who I am" "I'm the head girl and you will do as I say" and were also swearing at them... Just because of a place to sit

I do not recommend this school at all!!! I had the worst experience, I was bullied by not only pupils but teachers as well for having a condition which at the time I couldn’t control. I went to the school and received so care, they do not care about their students. All the school cares about is beating other schools in sports, especially Randpark High School, that is their main concern. My brothers friends got a scholarship for Northcliff and they turned it down saying they were going to go to another school and the Head or Sports said “Shame I pity you”, they are unprofessional. This is one of many examples. They mock schools for what goes wrong with them, but trust me they have their dirty secrets as well. They are unprofessional and cocky when they shouldn’t be. And don’t even get me started on the favoritism. More obsessed with their image than anything else.

I love how enthusiastic the teachers are and how the extra murals allow u to Express yourself with lots of opportunities. The higher grades are also very kind in helping new students in lower grades feel welcome
